It's not boring, though. Like you note here, the landscape seems to have little detail for its apparent size. Y'know, things like more trees or rocks and boulders in the snow, or things like deeper depressions in it. That said, yes, you did do well portraying elevation variance with shading and did rather nice mountain slopes (though the cut-off from the side seems a bit too vertical). If anything, you did better in your more recent pieces, so your progress shows. And the perspective is alright. So, good going. Looking forward to more, as usal.
