Tonal seascape daily #39

Hi folks, sorry to bombard the site.
In desperation, I'm going through the "isms" and today it's "tonalism" but I guess not up to the masters. The photo does not capture the painting, which is softer and more nuanced.

I'm ok with this, some bits jump colour wise for me, but something is happening, I think.

What a lovely piece. I really admire Murray how you get straight to the point in your work. I think that’s a great ability. Some people can just capture a scene with the minimal fuss. The rest of us are here working this, working that and working every which way. Overworking the heck out of a piece.
Also, I like how well you see values. A lot of us sort of ramp up the hue and then it’s not quite right.

This is really good. I like how you have stormy clouds but they are far away and it is warm and friendly up front. Just a lovely feel.

Hi Paintboss, thanks heaps for the compliments and encouragement. I feel like this worked, some passages I had to over paint, but, yes, it seemed to fall into place. I have always loved the way certain scenes lend themselves to that emotive tonal scene.
Your thoughts have really helped with these explorations.

Thanks Jo, really appreciate the comments.
