Thanks Keith – much appreciated. I think this highlighted to me the benefits of really trying to plan out as best as possible how to tackle each element before I even start painting – I usually have a rough idea and then trust that I’ll be able to figure it all out as I’m painting which can sometimes result in a bit of panicking should anything start to go wrong, then too much overworking as I try to correct myself.

Good work. I think you addressed all the issues you had with the other versions. It’s definitely better with more sky showing, and the clouds look good in this one as well. I like the way that they run down into the distant hills.

In reply to John. I agree, its far easier when the recipient picks out a painting you have all ready done. :)
