I just wanted to announce that this painting has just received the First Place award in the 10th Annual American Impressionist Society National Show, awarded by artist Quang Ho. The award is a great honor not only because it was given by such an esteemed artist, but also because of the high-quality of all the other works in the show. There were 644 entries submitted for this year’s show; 189 of those were accepted and are on display at Saks Galleries through December 1st, 2009.

Dan, good job overall. Thank you for being willing to share your work. I do think you could have increased the feelings of depth by using atmospheric perspective to slightly vary the color/value/temp/edge softness on the stream bed, banks and trees as they receded. You did an excellent job of modeling the distant mountain. The cloud shapes may have been more dramatic if you had consolidated some of the shapes. I hope you don’t mind the criticism, but I have always appreciated insights from other painters about my work. It helps me get to where I want to be much quicker. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks for the comments. To answer Lamoine’s question, I work mostly in oil, but often do some charcoal work and the occasional watercolor. And Leslie: I’ve just kind of ended up using different brands of paint due to certain colors being somewhat unique to a particular brand. It’s hard to find all the colors that I’ve become used to in the same brand. For example, I bought some Cadmium Yellow Deep from a certain brand because I assumed it would be a light orange, but it turned out to be much yellower that I expected. So I basically have found colors I like in particular brands, then have tried to stick with those colors in those brands.

I have some more demonstrations on my website….
