<p>Your finished painting is stunning and as it progressed I could feel the sun coming up. I lived not far from there for awhile. I have to say though that I really love the plein-aire painting. I think this would be a difficult subject in watercolor as you would need time between glazes, washes etc. Wow!</p>

<p>Hi Richard I love your painting and you are very kind to share your knowledge. I am a real green horn so here are a few questions...after looking at the reference photo, I saw red parts mostly in the distance and just a few of these in the foreground which was mostly a really light coloured rock like sand.

<p>Hi Richard I love your painting and you are very kind to share your knowledge. I am a real green horn so here are a few questions...after looking at the reference photo, I saw red parts mostly in the distance and just a few of these in the foreground which was mostly a really light coloured rock like sand. In your painting the red is included throughout the painting, it looks good, but to me it doesn't look like the photo. I am definitely not putting your beautiful painting down because I really like it; but how come you have to include colours that aren't there to my eye? I looked at Monet paintings and I see what you mean and I only use the primarys and maybe one or two secondarys in my paintings which are watercolour. I like doing glazes to mix my colours. Am I on the right track or totally off centre?</p>

<p>In all honesty Richard, this is my most favorite of your works. This is a place I have been to and you have captured it beautifully. Its probably one of the most difficult views ever to paint, so much information out there to know where to start, where to go and when to finish. Well done indeed. </p>

<p>I love this painting Richard, it has so much depth. I couldn't agree more about the old apprentice system being a great loss to our approach to learning today. We have put ourselves back at square one instead of building on what the masters of the past had already discovered. Great post thank you.</p>

Wow...I find I have to keep looking at this, can't take my eyes away! Beautiful and full of magic. Would love to have seen the expressions on your face as you contemplated, scraped and repainted- bet it was fun to watch! thanks for taking us along.

<p>You are very skilled, do great work, give great tips and advice <strong>but</strong> the best thing about your approach is showing your problem solving process. Very encouraging to someone like me for sure! </p>

<p><strong>I'm a beginner but I saw exactly what you meant and what you did in this painting. You are a wonderful teacher to explain and communicate in a way that others can't. Thank you for all that you give to others and know that you are rare. I've been a fan for over a year!</strong></p>
