        With my latest 12 x16 painting I am wondering if my progress is moving in the right direction. Although I do enjoy creating Southwestern themed artwork, as inspired in part by the Mohave and Painted Desert of Northern Arizona. I feel that somewhere I can make improvements. Any thoughts, suggestions and insights are welcome.

            I think it’s beautiful! I think maybe some more definition on the bottom but I’m new at this so I can’t say that confidently. :)

                Thank you! glad that you like it.
                I am considering making a few adjustments in the foreground.

                Lovely!
                Actually, I like the lack of definition in that foreground area as it adds to the magical feeling!
                Colours are gorgeous.

                Cheers, Maureen

                It has that hot dry, deserted area feel to it, a most excellent piece! Welcome to WetCanvas!

                Nice! Colourful skies like that can be hard to do but you do it well.

                    Thank you everyone!
                    It was fun to paint and a great experience.

                        Looks great as is. If you are striving for more “accuracy” however, that suggestion about more contrast toward the bottom makes sense.

                            I like the rocks a lot – it captures the tone and texture of the desert rocks; it’s beautiful work.

                            If I was to make a suggestion, it would be more variety in the sky colors – they seem to divide into areas of specific colors rather than merging into a whole

                            C&C welcome, the more incisive the better...

                            Welcome to Wetcanvas. Nice colours and a real sense of the alien desert landscape.
