Threatening thunderstorm

Well I would say it is bang on Derek the sky and land say solidity and the sky recedes beautifully with the water a must. I think any changes in structure by cropping would ruin a fine piece

Love it Derek, think it looks good as it is, love the colours the bright green's against the dark sky.

Looks good to me. I am reminded of the seemingly idyllic desert island .... It's a strong piece.

40 x30cms on smooth side of hardboard. My idea was to show a beach with waves gently lapping and then the scene beyond, trying to achieve drama by contrasting colours. I am sure I have got the perspective wrong (moi?) ref the waves and beach and maybe crop that off. I used yellow ochre on the beach and left some of the base material colour. Any crits welcome. I might just crop it anyway.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
