Autumn  Splendor ~  Progression of my painting 

#8		still working...lots to do yet!
For those viewing my progression of this painting I asked for a critique when I posted to the Painting forum and Norma helped me, see her comment below in hopes it may help another painter. I value her expertise. Thank you Norma. Re: 'Fall Splendor'-Rosalie Hi Rosalie, great to see you and with a lovely painting, the choice of the name sure is right on, a Lovely " Fall Splendor" is is for sure. I sure did love to see the progression of your painting, you could very well make a tutorial out of it. Hints hints... hehehe Now referring to the Principles of Art. I have open in front of me, in your progression the one you name, fall-painting-re8.jpg and the finished painting. Look at the finished painting, on the water, where it is a big dark spot with a purple or violet color, the viewer have to force himself to look further into your painting, now if you look at the progression one I did mention, the viewer have and easy movement to move into the painting. Also the tree line where the water meets, is more natural in the progression one. The extra work on the trees on the finish painting is perfect. Over all the painting is excellent great composition, in your finish painting, you have to focus point that are fighting for each other, the dark spot on the water and the dark line in the middle ground where the trees meets the water, this is why the movement is hard for the viewer. The progression one I did mention, is just perfect if we consider the Principles of Art. Sometimes it is hard to know when to stop, you may add the extra you did on the trees on this one and you'll have a master piece in your hand. Great choice of frame as well, really does complement the painting and don't take away from it.
