We were lucky enough to be able to spend a week in the Lake District for the Autumn half-term holidays, and although the trees were only just starting to turn, and the weather wasn't brilliant, we had a great time and I took far too many photos! So I've now got even more 'inspiration' photos, and I've just finished this painting of Ullswater. I'm showing it framed, as I think it looks nicer as a slightly smaller image! 😂

10"x7" Langton Prestige cold pressed 300gsm.

Here's the reference photo - I added the reeds in the foreground based loosely on a photo from a slightly different location, as it was lacking a bit of interest without them.

I've already been back to it and 'fiddled' a couple of times (adding the reeds and adjusting the reflections) and I'm now wondering whether to make the hillside on the right a bit of a 'richer' colour, or if I'm in danger of overworking it even more. Happy to hear critiques!
