I painted this a couple of days ago. I wasn't so sure I managed to create adequate distance, but after looking at it today, I think I did. Tonight I added just a little dark to the right side. I like the big size contrast between the little tree and the big tree.What are you working on?

Nice Light on the hill. Yes,good distance
This is really nice. I think you have created a lot of depth and the palette is very pleasing as well.
You covered the distance. Like the big tree/little tree.
I'm working on something--and your pthalo blue face was the inspiration/spark.
Oh, yeah, you got the distance. Love it.
I personally think you managed creating depth/distance perfectly. This has to be one of my favorites. Is this from your imagination or somewhere I might know?
I think this is a perfectly balanced picture. Funny it should be that way given the contrast between the small and large tree. I agree that you created depth, and I love the splash of brown weeds in the front - really adds a touch.
What am I working on?! I am working on my page in the joint sketchbook with Raena - I had much the same problem - a kind of flat perspective that I need to achieve, and I seem to have worked it out. Great feeling. Now I just need to finish..time is always the problem.
I love your work, Celeste - it inspires me!
I think you achieved your goal!
good distance! great light!
Look at the glorious colors in the distant mountains! I think that wee splash of pink is exquisite! A truly stunning work, but then it doesn't surprise me anymore. I love all your pieces so much!
I don't think "depth" will ever be your problem, my friend. You got it going on.
Love that tree...great values...
I'm reworking some canvases with fresh eyes, and trying to find a rhythm for summer studio time now that school's out.
Very cool, love the contrast of trees.
I am packing and getting ready to head to the mountains of NY. Planning on a summer of plein air painting and hooking up with the Hudson Valley Plein Air Group.
