Walker's Homestead

HELP! I need your advice people please? This is a painting that I have just completed....it is acrylic on a 51 X 76cm (20 X 30inch) studio canvas. I have spent so much time on the piece as I have been encouraged by friends and family to enter a local art competition...The Royal Agricultural Show. I don't know if it is good enough
Can you please give me some of your amazing advice?

Hi Terri, I wish I could offer you some help but I don't think that I am qualified to critique anyone's painting for I am still a student myself. Having said that, I absolutely love your trees/sky and water but the boulder on the left draws my eye and in my humble opinion, distracts from the scene. However, wait for the more experienced artists to give you their suggestions and advice which are always great.

I think this is a beautiful painting, Terri. The only part that I'm unsure about is the vegetation in the front left. It looks too solid or rounded to me.

Take note of your light source and look for anywhere you can add some shadows/shadings. Remember those darks are what will give your painting depth and perspective.
The light looks to be coming from the upper right.

Nice work, Terri. What a beautiful setting. Val has a point on the darks, especially the wall of the house at the back of the porch. That would be in deep shadow.

Patricia, Kathy, Val and Mea. I have done the changes that you suggested and I have just entered it.....(like at the last possible moment!) in to the art show. Not sure if it will be accepted but nothing ventured; nothing gained!
Here's the finished painting:

Yes, Terri. You made it pop. I'm sure the juror will want it in the show!

Teri: You have doe a great job on this painting. The addition of the shadows made it pop. I would have added some tall grasses to the left corner because it is the closest to you.
