What do you think of this partially done oil?.  Any input you give I shall attempt to implement.  Any and all words are welcome.

A tantalising image, Rickert. One to ponder over. There's much to consider which looks like the land and sea.

Replying for the updates. I will submit my homework to my mentor. I stumbled upon canadianwritings.com while searching for writing help online, and I’m glad I gave it a try. They provide a wide range of academic services, from essays to research papers, all guaranteed to be original. What really impressed me was their free revision policy, which allowed me to adjust the final paper to meet my exact needs. It’s a great option for students facing deadlines.

Rickert, you're not a conventional painter - it's hard to advise from a conventional point of view.  Your painting puts me in mind of Transylvania and a possible appearance by Count Dracula; now, that reflects my peculiar mentality perhaps, but it also suggests your painting has had an impact - which is all any of us really hopes for, I suppose...  I could say do this, do that, but if you did - it wouldn't be the same painting.   For instance, I could argue for greater tonal range in your land, better defined forms, but if I did, what I'd be doing is basically say "tone it down", which I don't think would reflect what you're about at all. So - what I will say is "keep painting": if you feel you have areas of weakness, then specific questions might elicit useful answers; otherwise, there is such energy in your painting that I have a feeling you should be teaching us, rather than the other way around.  I will say, though, that you might find a drawing course useful .... if you want to define objects and features; don't think I can go farther than that, though.

I listened carefully about what you guys said.  I read up on art de gecko or something one of you mentioned.  I have seen many panting that make mine look like junk to the eyes of many.

We are all different in what and how we paint , it’s not junk you paint not arty is junk . I do agree with Robert about drawing it’s one of the most important things to learn it firms the basis of all artwork. For  me your artwork is difficult to understand as I can’t pick out a recognisable shape ie a tree or a building etc. Your use of colour is very good and it attracts you to the painting. Don’t go thinking that your art is junk as when we all look at other artists and compare we come away feeling inadequate.

Someone in my family (that went to art college) said my art is junk and bought me 5 oil painting books.  I will learn stuff from those to make this as good as possible
