I still have a ton to learn and am always looking at more accomplished artists wishing I was there. You have the drive and a ton of years for practice. As John Taft has told me, think of art as your instrument and the only way to get better is to keep practicing. Your art will "sing" in even your own eyes eventually!

You really nailed the colors here! And if I haven't said it before, you're one of the most talented artists I've seen. I confess I've sort of viewed you as a photographer who so happens to paint. But now I see you're farther along than I am. Great job! I'm not sure I'd play too much with that foreground. It's certainly a bit looser than the background, but I think that's really an asset.
