Re: wde 8 19 Blue Heron
Hi, I really love the colours of the water. I agree with Ros about the blossom branch competing with the heron. A beautiful, serene moment has been captured here.

Re: wde 8 19 Blue Heron
Agreed that the branch of blossoms overpowers the heron. It's being oil pastels, I'm not sure I want to mess with it for fear of messing it up.
Kate, P65, Christine, Deano, thank you all.

Re: wde 8 19 Blue Heron
Very nice mood in this Hal - and my only suggestion would be to make the blossom less condensed - but if you can't take it out, then leave it - it's still a nice painting  |
