        Nice view, I would break up the tree reflections a little.

        Lovely, peaceful scene, nicely painted.

        You might run a light wash of the sea color over the trees in the water to soften them and make them a little darker (reflections are usually darker in tone than what they are reflecting, I think) and break them up a little as Doug suggested.

            It would appear that you painted the tree reflections last. Long after the
            paint representing the water dried. Worse, the reflection color is different
            from the trees. Very unrealistic. Always plan your work so that the water is
            first, and wet enough to then be able to quickly paint trees (or anything else)
            and their reflections. The reflections then blend in, wet-into-wet and look
            natural.
            I hope that this helps you, Jim. Otherwise… nice work.

                    Very nice conversion of the tree row!

                        Maybe some horizontal strokes across the reflections would help. Your imagined scene is a lovely one.

                                        Bill, are you saying to paint in the water very wet,then paint one tree on the land then the reflection in the water and so on?
