WOW!!!! How many beautiful comments!!! Thank you SO much!!!!!! Now Charles, what an interesting and enrichening critique!!!! THANK YOU! To tell you the truth, I always forget to study and see the sight circle in a painting... I need to place that in a to do list before I call a painting complete... Still SO much to learn...

There is a lot to like about this painting, starting with its boldness and energy of colors and movement.  Compositionally however, the grouping of the dark trees and the two large boulders in mid-tones creates a circle in the center of your painting with the larger boulder being almost dead center.   The movement you created lower right to mid-left leads the viewer off the painting rather than turning the eye up the valley. You might solve both issues (composition and movement) by maybe (maybe) moving the larger rock and some of the trees to the left edge with highlights to pull the movement from lower right to mid-left then turning us up to the center opening in the valley.  The light grass on the top of the boulders take away from the highlights on them.  To me those highlights call for hard edge.  The cast shadows on the rocks would extend across the entire back of the boulders and into the grass behind them based on how you have identified the sunlight coming from upper right.  A mixture of your blue in the mountains (or ultramarine blue) and burnt umber will create interesting darks for the shadows and maintain harmony.
