Contrast by Val-Irene Robertson

Don’t know what it was like before you changed it Val-Irene but I think it is incredibly beautiful now. Love that patch of light in the sky and the reflection and your very textural approach.

It’s a superb painting, as the artist only you will know that it’s lost something, reminds e very much of a Turners palette for his sunset etc .

I can also see Turner in this painting, really good Val.

Like it.

I think it is really beautiful, especially the lovely glowing light.

Always a problem, isn't it? You think that one little touch, or even major touch, will be what you need to make the picture work: and frustratingly, sometimes it is - but often, it does more harm than good. One lives and learns - and your painting does work, so don't reproach yourself. Use it as an excuse to paint another version, or even several other versions, and call it a series - one you intended to produce in the first place!

I agree with Carole - sometimes we are are own harshest judge

Lovely glow of colour- I think it’s perfectly painted Val-Irene.

I always appreciate all your comments. I will start another as I feel I know that if I get the mood straight of I should stick to it. Thank you

I know the feeling! This is still beautiful though.

Thanks for your comment Diane

Whatever you did, the result still looks great to me.

Thank you Brian.

It works for me! Great atmosphere.
