Thank you mairo!! It is a little more vibrant in person but when I compare to the others I think I should have pushed it further. Thanks so much for commenting.

Thank you Richard for your comments. I didn't do any glazing. I'm wondering how I avoid the pastey look.. should my color be more saturated in shadows? Could it be my paint (I'm using a beginner oil set) or probably just my technique.? I'll address those problem areas and see what happens.

Lovely soft colour palette and interesting paths that lead through the painting.

Ooh nice subtle big spotlight effect in the dunes! Beautiful. Always tricky to achieve that. Did you do it with glazing? You're right the colour looks a little whitish or pastey. Too much white in shadow colours? Or just the photo? Could always glaze some purples and blues over top. Oh beware making trimmed hedgerows everywhere! Break those shapes.

Thank you Ana !! I really appreciate it. Id like to try another to get that sand just right.

I like your chain of mountains and the grass representation is really good.

Thank you so much Carole!! The photo came out much more muted than the original. I appreciate your comments. If you have any observations for improvement I would appreciate it.

Wow! This is a lovely soft interpretation - I love the impressionist look of this painting.
