During a recent hike on the cliffs above the ocean in Sonoma County, I found many beautiful scenes to paint. It was early evening and the light was low on the horizon.
I'm sure it's not the case, but the horizon line--only implied because not shown, feels slightly tilted to the left.
Could this be the effect of your having worked from a photograph in which the camera had been slightly tilted?
I'm hungry for more detail in textures--particularly the foreground, which--though it may be less important to the effect of the whole composition--cries out for logical clarity. Distant detail with a blurry foreground implies a long-focal length lens.
