Ians comments are spot on, just a few brush strokes to form some irregular shapes will domit. Love the use of greys to bring out the glowing trees.

Great colours and view Diane - wondering where that is taken from.

I'm with I an . what a great view for a painting! Just a little modelling on the trees and some shape variation and your set! Good job!

Beautiful painting Diane!

Gorgeous painting, Diane; such majestic scenery! I love the contrast of the warm trees against the cool mountains.  I wonder if you changed the shape of the edge of the tree in the immediate foreground beside the water, to show a bit more of the continuation of the water, maybe also showing a little more here & there behind those 4 or 5 trees, if it might add something?  Really not sure about it; just a thought!

I like the shadow on the mountain/mid-ground!
