Hi Brenda, this is a lovely sunset over the water scene you have created. I like the warm gold tones with hints of red both in the sky and reflecting on the water, the sailboats bring further interest as well as a contrast between nature and man made to this scene. This is well created and arranged with 1/3 space for the sky and 2/3 for the water. Well presented!

I think this is a lovely sunset, and I especially like the Limited color pallet. The golden colors of the sky looks great, and they are of course nicely reflected in the sea. I like how all the boats are standing out so well from all this gold.

Your brush work is bold, but I like how all the masts and ropes on the boats are done as thin lines.

The format and framing is fine and With the setting sun a bit off to the left, it is a fine Balance in the composition. A truly lovely and well done painting Brenda.
