First Attempt At Picture IN Picture

This is my first attempt at Picture in Picture. The premise of the painting was to capture the view of the famous Li River in Guiling, China through the opening of a cavern. After the painting was completed, I found quite a few things that I did not like. The layout is too symmetrical, the vegetation emerging from outside the cavern walls is too frivolous and the lighting is too dim. There was no Punch to the painting. That's what motivated me to try painting Picture in Picture again. To see the second attempt, please scroll to the next post(s)
