Hey, this is pretty cool! I like the splotches of bright, hard-opacity colors to help make the piece pop, because otherwise, I think all the low-opacityness of the piece would kind of run together. The tilt of the horizon is a nice touch, as well, lending some interest to the piece.

I think you should try to have stronger shading in your work, though. You know, use photos as reference and really get into some more defined light and shadow! I bet you could do it brilliantly. Your style reminds me a lot of impressionist work in how you aesthetically rely a lot on bright colors and loose brushwork, as well, so maybe you should study some paintings from that movement to get some inspiration, if you haven't done so already!

All in all good job on this and a lot of the work you have been posting lately :)! It's inspiring to see you continually churning new speed paintings throughout the break. Keep up the good work!
