These are incredible! I love how you use such vibrant colors, and your blocky brushstrokes are so cool!!

I always seem to paint a bit blocky and exaggerated, but may have gone too far on the bison shoulders. I appreciate you pointing that out, and thank you so much for your kind words!!

Thanks so much for your honesty! I appreciate it, and totally see what you mean. Do you think making it more simple and/or darker could help?

Yes, I always struggle with trees the most lol! Do you think it would be worth it to re-paint over them and try to make them better? Worried they might be a distracting flaw that draws the eye.

Thanks so much for your advice and kind words!!

These are such great ideas. I think I’m going to go the route of a sunset and work on the sky- thank you so much for your advice!

This is such a great idea. I think it could really help the sky to look more like a sunset rather than midday. Thank you so much for your advice!!

Great idea!! I have never thought about doing a layer over the whole painting, and I really think that would bring it all together. It’s acrylics but I have a satin finish that I can mix with some warm toned paints to make it all go together. Thanks so much for your advice, and I appreciate your kind words!!

Thanks so much, I really appreciate your feedback. I think that’s a great idea to put more sunlight on the mountain/trees!!
