Lonesome Road, oil on canvas, 16 x 16" (41 x 41 cm)

Good work, Candi. You’ve got that strong light effect in the foreground working well and intensified the blues so that the complementary blue/orange colour scheme is much more obvious. Your brushwork is bold and varied and your drawing is good, all except for the window being at odds with the tilt of the building. Beware your background trees kissing the top of the canvas. If you scoop the shadows across the tracks a little it gives the appearance of a dirt or gravel road rather than a flat concrete. You could afford to have a little more depth in the grass shadows and more colour as it’s looking a little chalky at present and the shadow sides of the grass aren’t quite connecting believably to the cast shadows on the road. I hope that helps a little. Good work.
