Hello catAnnoyed and welcome to the ArtRage forums
Yes, I know 30min at times isn’t as long as you think it’s going to be when painting!
It’s sort of the painting equivalent of the short story. You really need to focus on the essentials of what you want to convey.
But I think you’ve done really well with both these two paintings.
Love the feeling of the low misty clouds in a mountain forest in the first one.
