I was thinking maybe I just needed to spend more time on the mountain and add more color variation to give it more interest. The mountain details were rushed. I tried to use a technique I've seen Bob Ross do with the palette knife to add snow to mountains.
The foreground hills probably would look better if there were actual trees there. The dark color is probably what makes it feel sinister.
But maybe the sinister feeling is appropriate since this was taken after a wildfire.
A wildfire would do that. I've heard of that technique before, it sounds interesting, though I probably wouldn't be one to try it since I don't often work with paint. The color choices on the mountain are good, though defining the mountain itself in some way would probably add a good bit to the piece.
