Thanks for commenting on my blog. I think if the shape of the mountains against the sky on the top left hadn't looked so clumsy, I'd have cropped the painting. Lightening the sky and making it a softer blue solved the problem without cropping and also supplies the info of why the light on the rocks and ground looks like it does.Generally speaking, I think I could have included less information in the painting and possibly made it a bit stronger that way. <br />I commented on your blog that day because the title paintings flying off the wall caught my attention. Since mine are strolling off the walls at a leisurely pace, I thought I'd glean a bit of helpful information. Then I saw you are in California the land of bountiful opportunity and appreciation for artists.I love it out there and can't wait for my next California painting trip in 3 weeks!

Whenever I try different versions...Interesting... Whenever I try different versions of a scene, I never know which is "best". I do like the one with the sky cropped out though.... (today at this particular moment... LOL)<br /><br />On a different note:<br />I wonder... For some strange and unknown reason, I had lots and lots (really a lot) of visitors to my website today... among them you. I posted no new paintings nor did I send out a newsletter or new blog post I did nothing unusual on Facebook and I don't know how to Twitter. <br />Can you remember WHY you decided to visit my blog today? Just curious about the strange spike. -- thanks!<br />And I am happy you visited!!!Marian Fortunatihttp://www.marianfortunati.comnoreply@blogger.com
