Thanks Steve, your comments are noted and I can see where it would improve the overall feel of the painting, Seeing as I am not a professional and do not get to paint with my watercolors daily I still struggle with composition, value and motion in my paintings, but I am trying to improve. I appreciate your comments.

Technically very nice! by: Steve
I am no "expert", but main subject appears to be the house, but, yet my eyes wandered all over from the tree to the house to the wash and to the barn and hills. Horizen line is below the middle of the page, a good thing! but house is too close to middle. Impact area (house) should be off center a bit and bright colors with deep shadows on the house and elsewhere. I may suggest adding some shadows to give the painting depth, life, contrast and more interest. perhaps a figure or two strategically placed.
