Acrylic on canvas.

Was never very happy with this - is painted from a holiday photo I took, but I always felt it turned out kind of boring...

I think the reason you feel it's boring is because it doesn't stand out. I love the painting itself, and the subject is great, however, the technical execution needs some work. I would suggest improving the contrast. There is simply not enough contrast between the sky and the mountain for it to be visually interesting as a focal point.

If you go back to the painting, I would reccomend darkening the sky as it recedes into the atmosphere while lightening it as it comes closer to the ground. Improve the mountain's contrast by putting some blacks in there, then focus on the foreground and give it some more lively colors so that the whole thing comes together. :)

Great work though.
