It certainly works with those clouds, my eye goes straight to them and their glow. A helpful explanation too as to how you achieved the effect.

I like those tree shadows and agree with Marjorie too

I like it, shining cloud is amazingly done!

This reminds me of Tonalism, which I love. This painting is beautiful: harmony of color; simplified shapes; wonderful greys. Tree shadows? I see furrowed fields, not tree shadows. But "reality" of what the shadows are doesn't matter. The excellent composition of the dark brown, slight tonal variations of the "rows" of the earth are rich leading the eye to the clouds. (Constructive criticism: not sure it matters. The upper sky looks a wee bit like waves in the ocean.)

Thank you all! Lynne, my daughter also sees furrowed fields, well I guess that's no problem. Thanks for the criticism on the top of the sky, I may try something

Oil on A5 board. Mostly from imagination. My objective was to capture the glow of those late East clouds during sunset. I fiddled a lot with the clouds with little success, what in the end worked better was to darken and remove colour from the rest of the painting. The imagined tree shadows look very strange.
