This is a 12x12 oil painting on stretched canvas (shrimp boats).I would like some honest feed back, please.  I painted this piece very quickly, compaired to what I normally paint.  Since I painted this a few weeks ago my style has changed and I am concerned.  I feel like I'm lost in translation/transistion at the moment.

I really like your painting.  They look like shrimp boats to me.  The sky, the water, the boats and background all look great.  I am curious about all the reddish dobs of paint on the large boat.

Arno

Thanks Arno, for the comments.  The dobs are rust spots, The photo I painted from has them, however they were trouble for me.  Maybe I should have left them off?

I was going to ask if those were rust spots.  I wonder if it is the color of the rust.

Arno

I think your right... I think I should have warmed it up just a touch, maybe a little more burnt sienna or orange.  Thanks a bunch. I will paint it better next time.  I always look forward to your comments!

I like you picture very much. I agree with Arno. The colour could be a little more rusty. Nothing you can't remedy.

Good one ... Maybe the odd dark somewhere?

The water and composition look great...

"I just finished my Yorkie. She sure is a cute little critter. I didn't have the right colors (or wasn't successful in blending them), but I do like her anyway. It's done in Derwent Colorsoft pencil on 9 x 12" drawing pad paper. "
