Critiques for "Arizona Purple"

This looks really beautiful ^^ The mountains look very realistic.

The colors look great and yellow and purple harmonize very well here. I like the mood of the landscape.

Thanks. ^_^

The only possible critique I could have it that the flow of this picture feels a little ridgid. It's a little difficult to explain- I'm not too good with scenery, but that's how it feels. Other than that, it's a pretty picture.

Maybe it's the large amount of stone depicted. Thanks for the crit.

Could be. IT's dominating, and I think the flow would work out more if it were zoomed out a bit ^^

That's what I thought when I finished this painting. About the rocks dominating the image. The reference photograph was the same. Bright blue sky and a big brown and red rock. When I turned this in my instructor liked it - I was surprised.

I'm not surprised, but some referance pictures aren't good to start off with. But in saying this, the mountain area is the subject and you can argue that it takes up enough room for that. Donno.

I think the color came out nicely

Thanks Susie!

I love this piece! You chose great colours, and you used them so well.
I particularly love the shadows

Thank you very much! I've really been surprised by the wonderful comments I've received on this piece.

You shouldn't be so surprised! It's a great piece
