I think it’s a great effort- in my humble opinion I think there is too much going on but it shows excellent painting technique.

Good effort Carole, I think I agree with Shaun, a bit too much going on.

I like it but it's probably two separate paintings (foreground and background)

Good effort Carole. Not an expert but in my view, may be the sky needs gradation towards horizon and lighten the mid ground to create more sense of depth! At the moment everything is attracting too much attention and making it busy.

Such an interesting view, Carole with lovely water and I can understand the temptation to add those extra details ! Well done, though!

Dear colleagues I completely agree with all your comments. Did realise on reflection that it looked very cluttered. Less is more and I will keep this in mind whilst attempting other paintings. It’s so good to get all this useful feedback and be able to digest it. Thank you so much for commenting and being so helpful 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌞🌞🌞🌞

Thanks Carole, but I have to say I agree agree with the comments below; great colours but no focus for once (said with love); Love and God bless, my friend xxx

Thank you Andrew for your useful feedback. I suppose we all have failures from time to time and I recognise this as a poorly, planned, painting without sufficient thought to distance, depth and composition. However, it’s good to learn from our mistakes so hopefully my next painting won’t be such a disaster . God bless Andrew🌈🌈🌈🌞🌞🌞
