Sunlit Cliff Fix

16x20 oil on Canvas after JoV. Thank you to my friends that liked and gave me advice to improve this painting. I darkened the value of foreground and added stronger color to other areas. I also added the pile of rocks infront to push the cliff back and some more Cedars grew to tie the darks together. I am trying to learn the desert coloring to do more of the area in Utah where I grew up. It is a challenge to hve variety of color and shape in the rocks. I won't mess with this any more but suggestions for improvement are appreciated. Always trying to improve

By using the darker and warmer tones in your foreground you have brought your cliffs closer but it is a strong design and the cliffs are rendered beautifully with a great deal of interest going on with your little tree and the smaller rocks. The power of the palette can be quite overwhelming at times! I would definitely hang this one and enjoy it. :-))
