Jane,
I disagree with Sharon on this; I still like the painting just as it is. There really is no foreground in this picture, and making the bottoms of the mountains darker would weaken the painting (in my opinion). I like your warm and cool colors on the bottom rocks. Your snow and rock shadows on the upper peaks gives a great 3d effect. I wish Richard would critique this. I think it is excellent work and plan to give you a "like" on the 21st..

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Sharon-- I actually had the sky lighter and then darkened it. I wanted the whites of the snow to stand out a little bit more. I was trying to get that 'spot light' effect on the main peak. I did darken the foreground a bit. I still have difficulty putting in dark darks, especially in watercolors. Thanks
Jane,
The more I look at your painting, the more I like it. You really nailed your values. Your lost and found edges on the snow and clouds are also excellent. Nice job.
