The Loch Cottage by David Melrose

That's pretty good after such a long break! The distant hills and the far shorline work well, if you darken the foreground a bit, it will have a greater sense of depth (distant objects are generally lighter in tone than nearer ones). Hope you don't mind my well intentioned crit.

Stephen, Thanks again all comments welcome. Learning from others and taking all comments is the only way to improve. I plan to do much more however Oil is my favourite medium and I plan to do a course or two in that as my last instruction in art was a secondary school about 35 years ago. Thanks again David
