Good for you, mac!
Delighted to see a painting from you and a watercolour to boot. I echo Pauline's comments regarding this medium
because it IS very unforgiving. One of the great things about oil, as a medium, is it's forgiving nature. If you cock things up
you can simply scrape it off and start again: not so with watercolour.
Your painting has depth but your background colours could be muted to imply aerial perspective, also the lines are a bit sharp
on the horizon. A change to both would enhance the illusion of distance.
Your central tree dominates the scene and steals the show from your house. If it was reduced in its bulk and moved to one side
it would play a wonderful supporting role.
Be careful when placing windows in a building. They're the devil to get right and although they're open to loose treatment
they wouldn't usually hug the roof. Size is also a consideration. I'm always getting them wrong and have just recently revised
my Budapest Parliament windows. I'll post an update soon.
Your colours are delightfully clean and inviting, giving the painting a kind of expressionistic feel, especially with that excellent
swirl in the sky.
Sorry about the tardy response but I'm in the middle of a couple of winter oils. Come Christmas I cover the dining room walls
with snow paintings to create that festive mood. It looks pretty cold when the table's set and the fake snow is in position.
Anyway, great to see you posting. Keep at it and please post some more.
See if you can crop your next pic and stand it up if pos'.
Best
JJ
