Mountains of Tennessee
I finished this watercolor, 10X14 inches on cold-pressed watercolor paper, over the weekend and there are some hard lines between a couple of the mountain ranges. This is from Bean Station in Tennessee. I'm so tempted to try to soften those hard edges, but in watercolor it could spoil the adjacent shapes. If you paint in watercolor would you leave it as is or try to soften those edges?

Messing with watercolor after it dries usually doesn't go well for me. May sound crazy, but why not paint the same painting with what you learned from the first attempt? You'll either do it better or worse in which case you'll still have the first one.

Another Plein Air
A 10"x8" plein air oil painting. I'm not sure how people crank out paintings in a couple hours outside. I've gone back several days for my paintings so far.

@Gloria Murphy yes, it's an old ice house from the 1880's. Now a performing arts venue.

What I've been saying!!
This is what I've been saying!!... and now, a master of composition has confirmed it!! This is a snapshot from Ian Roberts's "Mastering Composition" book I'm reading en route to Florida.

I would be interested in a review of the book when you finish it. I'm an Ian Roberts fan and thought about purchasing this book. And yes, I've started painting outside this year. When I look at the photos I take of the scene I'm painting they're very different proportionally and the photos are even uninteresting compared to the paintings.

Landscape oil on canvas
Another attempt at a landscape painting. I’m not quite sure yet if I like it… Do you think it might be too busy?

Is this a photo you took? Maybe it's just me, but the shadows and the road don't look right in the photo, like it's been altered/retouched.
