I like this! I like it a lot, and I'd be proud to have painted it. The general aesthetic appeals to me, and I'm particularly fond of the left half of the valley. I love the color work, how loud the highlights are against the darker colors without being offensive to the eye; it's a very visually striking style.

Only read if you want constructive feedback:

If I had to guess what's "wrong", I'd say that it's that the detailing over distance is inconsistent. You've got some things that are sharply detailed at a far distance (the church) and other things that are loosely detailed at that same distance (the trees). The line work also seems a little wobbly (speaking as someone who does vastly worse line work). The last thing is that the very far off snow is really, really, really bright, which seems to suggest to the eye that it's much closer than it ought to be.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

You actually attempted it and did a good job while also developing your skills as an artist.

I often think of doing the same but never get to that point .... and most people are the same. You achieved something most people haven't but wished they had.

And if you keep making more, they will only become better. I'm happy for you and I look forward to seeing more.

art is permission to fail.

and you don't get better without failing a lot.

We are our own worst critics, no one in this thread is zooming in and seeing all the things you know you did wrong. as a finished work it is pretty good.

Are you kidding, that looks awesome! Is this Lauterbrunnen?

~~failing~~ learning

(possibly still miserably, but that puts you in company with Van Gogh, etc.)

Keep growing!

Nice job my friend!

I wish I could paint half as well. Are you using oils?
