So, what's wrong and right with this painting?

I paint for the enjoyment of painting. Yet, I paint in limbo if others don't see them. This is a painting I just finished. Hope you enjoy it. I did making it,

Everything is right about it. I love the sky & boat. The horizon - if that is water - should be straight - it goes uphill. Might want to green it up a bit if it is water. Otherwise there's drama and beauty in it.

I agree the line is off... like the composition and lighting. you have dark balancing out the light. could use more shadow on be blue of the boat. also a little messier looking boat with some dirt, broken boards or bird poo type of thing. boat looks too new. and perfect to be beached.

Should that piece of slanted cliff be tone down by 20%? When that strong bursting skylight glaring at viewers' eyes....should that cliff looks more softened down?

What's right about it ? It's a beautiful painting ! the complimentary pallet, the fresh crisp strokes and pop of blue on the boat, the sky, the subtle shadow of the boat.... wrong ? ...if anything I'm not really sure that the light in the sky on the left completely balances... feels slightly bottom right side heavy- only slightly, and that could be from the photo or my monitor. Gorgeous !

Hey there! The painting is awesome. However, Your sun seems to be in sunset position, while it emits midday (bright yellow) light instead of orang-ish. Maybe the sand could use a little more texture as well?

I like your composition very much. It is very good.

I like your painting. I think you paint well. I like that the boat is kind of stranded out there in the painting. I think the painting looks a little bit too lonely.
