Spring Melt... Again

This is the third try at getting everything that in this entry.

I loved the rugged river of melting snow in the photograph; therefore, it became the focus of the painting. The challenge was to make it seem to run off into the background.

Comment by Ann Turner on November 7, 2011 at 20:11: The foreground river is very nice. The color is excellent and the white water around the rocks adds a feeling of movement.

Comment by Nancy Sands on October 25, 2011 at 16:15: Thank you, Judy. I'm glad you made the observation about the orange trees. I have been mulling them over in my mind. You helped me make up my mind. Now after watching Richard's video, I basically want to start the whole painting over again. I do appreciate your kind comments.

Comment by Judy Hill on October 25, 2011 at 15:59: Great job on the river perspective, nice pallette , and very good composition. The red trees seem a bit far back, maybe that warm color would be better up front or repeated there. WELL DONE

Comment by Nancy Sands on October 21, 2011 at 8:17: Thank you, Suzi. You are so generous with really insightful suggestions. I don't know if I have any more time to fiddle with the painting, but thank you for your suggestion.

Comment by susie gregory on October 21, 2011 at 0:48: good browns in the foreground water...maybe that stark blue in the water doesn't quite read...the green in the far-off mountain is maybe a tad warmish...love your trees!
