You're right Sharon.  Having others critique my works helps me think outside of the box that I have created in my thinking regarding a painting.  So thanks!

It is not only too dark, but the trouble is it is like a corner is cut out.  But the cloud is a nice woven masterpiece.  Maybe a little tiny yellow in the sun would make it even better!  I am always trying to make things better.  I critique mine until I can't anymore.  Then, others can help me.

Thanks Ningning.  I think that part of the reason the hill doesn't work is that it isn't connecting with an horizon.  This was a photo taken by my daughter in New Zealand.  If I showed the ocean as well it would be better.  I also agree that it is too dark.  Thanks for your comment!

I love your clouds too. a lot of work there. the color change, the value variety,all what Richard hoped us to practise. Nice job. I notised Sharon's comment. I have same fellings with her about the hill or rock at the left corner. It seems a bit too dark compare with your clouds. You may want to keep it. If so, I would put some lighter color  on it. you alread have some lighter dark blue, just emphasize a little bit more to give the viewers a sense of rocks or something else. It may help. Just an idea for your refferece.

Thanks Sharon.  You're right about the composition.  I guess I wasn't thinking about that being too focused on the cloud.  I appreciate your comment.

This is very good!  Ilike the dark cloud with the bright light behind it.  Bold.  I don't care for the ground in the corner, though for composition.  I know it is hard to remember every thing that goes into a painting.  But great clouds!!

Thanks Rita. I found this one more challenging. The depth of colour in the cloud gave me some trouble leaving it looking to heavy.
