I can't say too much in terms of criticism, since I'm new to painting myself, but I will tell you what I like.The first thing I noticed is the composition itself, how you sort of framed the image using the rocks over to the right side, and the boat over to the bottom left, as well as the darkness of the sky on the top edges. My eyes travel first to the centre of the painting, weaving between the boat and the rocks. I find the composition quite successful at creating a very calming, serene atmosphere.I also really like the colours you have chosen. The use of a little purple was a nice touch, as well as the light blues at the top. The purple I find, is a really good colour to add to water when doing a sunset scene. I'm not entirely sure why, I just find it is nice. Gives it a more "watery" feel to it somehow.It's amazing how well you were able to achieve depth in the sky and clouds through colour. It's breathtaking, which is something I do not come across all too often.
