River View

What a gorgeous Pastel.

Kieth, I think this worked very well indeed, I get the feeling I'm sitting in my boat and floating down the middle of the river,while the world rushes by.what a relaxing picture!. regards, karen.

Keith, I know what you mean - but it does work. Well done for leaving it alone and resisting the temptation to add boats, fishermen, etc. Maybe most paintings do need a focal point, but it can become so obvious, and contrived, that there's just as strong a case for letting the eye find its own resting place.
