I really like how you did the plants in #1. I like how you did them in all of them, but I really enjoy the countering textures of #1.

I like the colour's, I have artists in my family, but the clouds they use seem to be dull and uninspiring. With all the doom and gloom these days it's nice to see something like these.

Thank you very much 🙏 we all need brightness nowadays 🥺

a) requests for critique will get more accurate feedback when art is displayed neutrally with a straight-on pic against a black or white background. Ie, Nature paintings with nature in the background and varying lighting positions make it difficult to assess objectively. The background becomes visual noise that interferes with seeing the work at the core.
b) To rectify this, I scrolled through your post history and found a few of these posted ala digital prints. I feel this nature series /1

suffers a bit in terms of breathing room. There's a lot of the wildness of nature captured, which is good, but it's also claustrophobic. There's a lot going on at once and the eye has no real place to settle except on the flare of the sun. Everywhere else is chaos.
I'm not sure how much the medium you're using impacts your ability to denote depth of field and shadows (my sister is the artist in the family), but if there's a way to better indicate those things, I would recommend doing so. /2

Eg, #5 I can really feel the distance here. There's a vast expanse that extends between the viewer and the horizon that's clearly palpable, while others, though they have clearly defined foreground and background, I can't feel the distance between those elements. They could be five metres apart or five hundred. /3 (hold, checking something)

Yeah so your cityscape with the restaurant sign. That's what this nature series is struggling with, I feel, in ways your cities don't. I can barely tell what the buildings are supposed to be in the distance; there's a tactile kind of bokeh with the comparative visceralness of the restaurant and the people nearby on the street. There's more breathing room for the eye to track the movement of everything.
Back to the nature series: I really enjoy your use of colour and the spread of warmth /4

versus cool with the balance of earthiness and vitality. I feel this is where your nature series *really* moves me, there's this push and pull dynamic happening with your use of colour that feels like waves under the skin.
There's also something a little ethereal about the way you use the brush, like I'm gazing at all these things through a rain-streaked window, a portal that shows the wildness of the planet yet somehow safe behind glass and insulation. It's almost voyeuristic. Very cool.
