Gary, I try to learn wandering between realistic and impressionistic as I can. This piece I did well as I have Richard's demo to guid me. I have to practise more how to simplify the scene when I have to design a painting by myself and loosen up with brush work . You have a good eye on detail and that is a gift. you can show the viewers in the way of impressionistic  too, that is what I am struggling to do. There will be a lot of fun learning here from our teacher and our lovely fellow artists.

Hi Li,

Many thanks for the encouragement, I do like the realistic looks in paintings but I love the more impressionistic styles like you/others  and Richard have. Have to learn how to loosen up!   I really enjoyed painting the grand Canyon,

  cheers

Gary, you did a great job. You are much better than you think about yourself. Apart from your nice balance of value, light and color harmony of your mountans, your texture of the rocks are very realistic. And those leaves catch my eye and make me smile. Very nice.

The blue background is lovely with soft shapes but still well defined as far away structures.
