I love the light water effects you've done its a beautiful painting and ahs done it good justice - sometimes stark contrast works better than subtle light changes, I learned this recently at our Painting group from a senior painter..".works for me, I said! "

<p> "in the end I took a big brush and a load of white paint to it and obliterated it" Thanks for the info. Have wondered how you go about changing what you want and wish you would instruct on how to make changes in a work in progress. (scrape it off, wash it off let it dry and paint over it etc.?) I look forward to getting the video for this when it is available.</p>
<p>I love the final foreground and the back ground. Lightning the center sky background made the light reflecting foreground…</p>

Eating might have to take precedence over painting. Looking at getting some land close to here, maybe a communal plot. Lots of options.

By the way I still like the lighter brighter colour sceme. I think the white at the bottom actually fades the picture away and draws your eye to the brighter and more detailed part of the work. But as Peter says what would I know. I guess you like what you like:)

<p>:-) LOL. Thanks everyone for your comments - good to hear your thoughts. It can always be better, or different at least. Part of me does prefer the previous warmer colour in the foreground, but part of me prefers the new more harmonious colour scheme. Can't have everything I guess. Beautiful scene to play around with and so I will be shooting the <em>second</em> video of me painting a 10x8" study of this today, which I'm looking forward to, with some trepidation.

If I get the shakes it might add to the brushwork. Actually I met a lovely lady in a rainforest once who had Parkinsons or something which made her wobble a bit and it gave her a beautiful energy in her paintings. Now I'm rambling.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. Rock on.</p>

<p>Oh, by the way, I'm thinking about going all Eco-vilage, Amish, Self Sufficient, etc. Anybody out there worried about an economic collapse in their country and planning ahead for it?

Hi Richard, I reframed your painting on my screen, deleting the bottom portion of white, and I think this improves the painting; the foreground water and the white are too distracting, I think. Stephen.

Thanks Maria. I hadn't thought of the foreground like that - I just wanted it to fade away to canvas. Interesting getting a different take on it.
