Title : Blessings
Media - Water Colour on 18" x 24" 140 lb Canson - Cold Press Paper

I had started this piece last month. Came to the stage before the greens in a couple of days. The painting did not feel complete then. The bells in my heart did not ring ;-)

Last week after a long gaze I though of adding some green to the foreground trees. Still the painting does not seem complete to me.

Fortunately I did not "BLOCK OUT" on this painting. I worked on many in between. But this painting up on one of my tables is bugging and begging me to complete it ;-)

I am totally lost of ideas.

Questions - 1) Should I do anything else here? If yes what?
2) Any other ideas are welcome.

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Ajit! You have made a wonderful start and the colours are beautiful. I feel more shadow, more darks showing light sorce direction and a little more detail in the foreground and to the closer part of the stream to show depth would complete this work. It is a very delicate piece! Perhaps it is a little too soft all over, but I like it very much. Keep on going, it will be a winner! =)) Debs
