64th Painting: Landscape #3

See Below for my post

Hello All,

I started out with my Self-Portrait, and was trying out new paint combination and that turned into a disaster, so I scrapped it.  So before moving on to new portrait, I decided to do this landscape, with the left over paint.  This landscape is a little from imagination and little from another picture/painting.   Nope haven't headed out into the world yet... "soon" is the word... .  I did this work spread over several hours. (keeping things painterly).

All constructive feedback are welcome.  PLEASE don't hold back.

Size: 5" x 7"
Time:  3 hours.

You're coming along beautifully. The gradation of the sky helps me feel the depth. The shadows in the sand are very effective in making me feel like I can cross the sand and climb the bank to look out further into the distance. The shadows also have very nice mixture of values and colors. Very nice!

Thanks Judy, for your feedback. I am getting ready to conquer this genre as well.

This is a really good one Faisal!
I love the dunes, especially the shadowed pink and blue tones on the sand. The trees kind of startle me, as where I live, there are no trees like those around our dunes. So the 'internal editor' in me keeps erasing the trees (sorry) and putting in billowing clouds. Then I feel right at home!

(this one will sell no problem..)

Thanks Allan for the feedback. LOL! I know what you mean by the internal Editor. Yes! there are trees like this in Texas, around our lakes and ponds (sort off, don't open your botany books... ) . I think they were artificially planted. Once again, I truly appreciate the feedback...

I like this one a lot, Faisal. The trees don't bother me as I've seen sandy, almost desert-like plains with the sand blown into dune shapes and there were also stubby trees.
