Evening Glory

Coldethel 07 Mar 2023

Started trying to paint a Bill Alexander painting, but it seems unfinished. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Looks like evening glory .I don't think it looks unfinished. Bill has more power and color intensity in the sky. There's nothing more in there. I painted it, Tom posted it and so did a few other people. Look at it. Greetings from Germany😎

Bill often says his aim is to teach and not to complete a full painting. I think he was never happy to paint something in 25 minutes, he didn't prepare his tutorials so exactly as Bob did. But to me often those paintings with minimum elements are much better than the overloaded ones.
I think you did a good job with it. Maybe leave it like it is.

This looks amazing Coldethel! Great colors, sky and water reflection! To be honest, I wouldn’t add anything. This looks very complete to me. You might ruin the whole thing. Simple is very often prettier!

Thanks everyone

The sky and the water are meant to make the statement here and yours are beautiful! Sometimes less is more and this is definitely one of those circumstances. Beautiful just the way it is.

This is beautiful, love the peaceful colors
