Oil Paintings—Critique Please

[Ramona Hornung]

Josseline, thanks, nice of you to take your time and look at my stuff. Yes, Bill Perkins courses are gold, I agree there! As for colour generally, I am impatient of discussing colour as distorted by photography and backlit screens. In my experience, we painters have developed such a keen eye  as regards the subtle variations of hues, that never can a photograph come close to the original painting it’s taken of, not as regards colour, nor value distribution for that matter. Besides, colour is so personal. But, good point there as to the chromatic relationships within the pictorial space, will think about this.  As to my compositions, the weird cropping  and positioning of the figures is intentional, I’ve been experimenting with this for a while now….

wish you well Josseline !
