Town on Hill

I

This piece was done on a 10" square canvas with acrylic paint, is my first attempt at a landscape. I'm very proud of this piece, among the best I've ever done. I even got the shadows right, on the left side of the buildings and hill. I thought of giving the buildings more color, like real life, but I like them a bit drab. My only real concern was, was the picture taken with my shaky hands too blurry? It now hangs in my doctor's office.

Imitation Mark Rothko, December 5, 2018

I was inspired by Mark Rothko's work and made a few imitations which you can see at 
daru3-davidart.blogspot.com/2015/11/rothko-file.html

I did some research if him later, and, if you know Mark Rothko's work, you can see that his suicide was coming, so I decided to try another version of his style, Hopefully, a happier version, below:

So, how does this make you feel?

I remember why I quit using watercolor.
It's too loose and drips too easily.
It's too hard to control.

The Sitting Reader (fauvism)

I looked into fauvism and Matisse's The Dance II. I thought I could try my own fauvism.

I had two problems. 

First, my acrylics didn't cover my pencil marks. Would any acrylics cover the pencil or should I have used oils?

Second, I had trouble controlling where the paint went. It got sloppy. I either must find much thinner brushes or follow my teachers' advice and paint larger. 

Also, after trying to adjust it, I couldn't figure out how I wanted the left foot to face.
