New Landscape — lots of water!

I’ve just begun a new painting, at home.  So this one might need some expert input, but at least for now i am on my own.  i don’t want to take up valuable class time with a new one, when i’ve Got so much still to do on the  “in-class” project.

So, this reference photo is from a calendar,; Norma cropped some of the photo to improve the composition.  as i said above, this is in the pre-preliminary phases.  I plan to block in the water and the sky before adding the silhouetted trees.  Should be an interesting challenge.

    This new “landscape” doesn’t appear to have any “land” so far, just calm water and complicated sky. Seems very serene.

      Isn’t a painting of a sunset at sea, with no land in sight, considered a landscape? Okay, maybe a “seascape”. Now what do we do about a painting of the same sunset in the middle of a lake with no land in sight? I have never heard of a “lake scape”, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Agree it seems weird to have a “landscape” sans land, but that’s what I thought.
