Nice

This is quite a nice picture, even though it has some small flaws here and there.

I like the scenery, it looks very quiet from this point of view, but I expect a big ocean right behind that hill (it's a lighthouse after all) which can be a dangerous thing from time to time.

But I think the lighthouse is a tad bit too small. While I'm no expert on what lighthouses should look like or can look like the ones I saw so far seemed to be a lot bigger than the house you painted here.

Also there are some small dots of blue colour on the roof of the house. I don't think those dots belong there and that's one of the small flaws I was talking about earlier.

But seeing how you did this in 4 and a half hours I'm really impressed with what you came up with. I think if you had some more time to work on this picture you could easily correct those small mistakes.

Frame it

I think that this piece needs to be framed and put on a wall, to show off the true beauty. Viewing it up close can only do the quality and the image harm. If you put it into a static situation, the brush strokes might give the piece more continuity.

Acrylic is a most difficult medium to work with and one false stroke can doom a piece, so you've done a good job here. What I'd suggest is with the image producing an appearance of breeze or wind about the scene, perhaps "comb" the greens in one direction or even have systematic breaks, where the stalks of vegetation are blown in different ways. This would also lead to colour changes.

The sea looks choppy, which means that the rocks look decent, though I would suggest that you make them a little darker, where they meet the path. Even with the spray over them, jagged edges of rock will show through and give you something to work with there.

With the proportions of the buildings and the trees, what have you got there? A church and a group of Sequoias? Perhaps thin the trees out and make the trunks less substantial there, for perspective. Would both buildings be the same colour, even down to the red of the roof tiles? Perhaps change that for a little more variation and throw in something to talk about with it.

Hmm

Well the scene is nice but this doesn't really give me that 'wow' factor I would expect. I've seen this style done before but on a scene like this it almost just looks like a small child painted it. Most of the rocks down by the water are just a blend of 3 different colors and difficult to distinguish what's really down there. The fence looks rather inconsistent and sloppy. The trees, grass, hill, and sky all look okay, but the houses on them look a bit malformed. The whole painting just has a very sloppy feel to me.

Sorry, but this one just isn't for me. It just has a very amateur look to it, in my opinion. Your effort has been noted though. Keep at it.
