11 x 14 inches .. acrylic on paper .. alla prima .. painted Mar 10/26 .. a beach in my area of the woods ...
I used a b & W photo of a public domain artwork and it translated into this . Below is the inspiration.

This is a yummy scene. Your landscapes have excellent diagonals, which really pulls you in. Love this quiet, late winter palette, and the logs laying about are wonderfully painted.

Another beauty!

You did a great job of simplifying all those busy areas, especially on the left! This reminds me that there is a lot of beauty in subtle winter colors, not that flowers won't be welcome soon.
 
I wanted to add - re: the B&W photo shows a rather blocked-up scene, with that boulder on the right preventing the viewer from seeing deeper into the background. Good job to remove that and just extend the shoreline of the other area, adding the trees, etc. (y)
 
I started with the original image but as I blocked in my imagination took over. lol I do stuff without knowing what I’m doing.
