[Aquanet] March Member Critique

[NitaLeland]

Joe--
Your painting is a beautiful example of "high-key" painting, which establishes a mood using only the upper value registers. I like this effect very much. I do think that the misty feeling of the sea and sky would be enhanced by pushing the foreground into the next darker value step and very slightly warming the colors of the near rocks. I love the red beach flowers, sparsely scattered on the foreground.
