Tweaked

Algonquin 12 x 16 Acrylic
I still don't like the rock

But I have to admit, I do like this painting. I enjoyed working with the colours.
I didn't have any moments of great frustration even with the rock I'm not fond of. It looks even less rocky online. It's weird how the paintings change when you take their picture then post them. hmmm.

In case you are wondering, this was based on an actual photo. That rock is the same rock as the painting with the canoe, but looking in a different direction.
We were camping in Algonquin Park - and the sun was setting after a day of rain rain rain. 

8 sounds of silence:

I like it, could the rock be darker? Working on the old school principle of things close up appearing darker than in the background.

But what do I know, I was always crap at landscapes. :D

I like it!! While I see a rock, I also see water lapping up on a beach....thanks for sharing.

The rock looks much better. I like :) Very soothing.

We have an Algonquin park by our home. Pretty neat. Are you sure you don't live closer?

Beautiful, Jeannie! That's a fantastic landscape and I don't know what you mean about the rock. It totally works for me.

Btw, I just saw the photo from your most recent post and now I'm even more impressed. I love it!!!

I dunno, I kinda like the rock. And I do love anything in Algonquin. Even rocks. Even made-up rocks. Even your rock!
