Thank you to you three for your comment ... I REALLY appreciate.
David, you're telling me to pay attention to edges. I really like those lost/broken edges. I recognize myself in them. Do you see a problem with that?
I will not be able to paint for the next day so an update might come but in a week or so.
Now my self analysis ...
I wonder if I have really finished or not. See below the area where there could be some improvement ...
1 - I don't really like the foreground. I work wet on wet and mix the paint on the canvas with my knife. My first strokes were better than that IMO ans the more I played with it, the messier it became.
2 - There is no clear difference in value and color between the fence and the background.
3 - No continuity between what appear below and above the fence here. Looks like we are not looking at the same background ...
4 - I don't like that tree. Need rework.
At this time, I just wonder if I should only consider this one as an exercice and go on with another attempt OR try to improve it ... Don't want to overwork (not my style anyway).
I'm also telling myself that the composition is not the best here. The fence leads the eye out to the left of the painting. The tree at the left served as a stopper and tries to bring back the eye to the upper center. Not sure it works ...
Your comments / advices are more than appreciated ...
