This is a very interesting thread.
I too do better with figures and still life, but fail miserably at landscape.
I noticed that somebody said that the composition of a landscape rather escapes them, but what I have noticed day after day as I drink my coffee on the deck that over looks the hills rolling towards the horizon, is that no matter what the clouds are doing in the sky, they blend perfectly with the shapes I am seeing in the greenery of the hills & valleys. I marvel at this on a daily basis. It is like Nature, has it all down pat and has everything perfect.
I am interested in developing my ability in landscapes and stills, not only for their own sake, but also to be able to easily incorporate this into my figure & portrait painting.
I would like to post this "violin" which is currently on the easel, and hope to receive some comments on how to improve it.
I am quite happy with the violin itself, but in the surround, I was trying to put a reign on my usual tendency of "too much unnecessary information" and so was trying to push much into the background.
However, i do not think it is working well.
