Derwentwater -view from launch. by Carol Hitchman

I like this, Carol. I would suggest, very humbly, that you vary your tonal range, it is all about darks and lights and contrast....Love the reeds in the foreground. Hope you don't mind my comment re tonal values...It is really amazing when you use a dark to make the painting 'Zing' (Still trying to do it myself, actually...I can talk, can't I?!!)

Thank you Ruth for your constructive comments. You have evidently spent some time looking through my portfolio and as a self taught beginner I really appreciate your comments and encouragement. I see the point about contrasts and will see what I can do in my next effort. Thank you.
