I like the 3rd one and the last one best. Mostly because I dig minimalism in landscapes. Great painting, I love it :)

Thanks. I do too. I think the challenge with the last one will be to give it depth. I think I need to work with someone with some photography skills. The colors on all of these look better on my phone.

I agree with elizabeth's choices. 3 may afford greater room for projecting your feelings. 6 has surreal potential (see that face in there and that heart tracing an outline?)

I am leaning towards 3 as well. However, its composition is extremely similar to this winter scene. Then again, so is 1. Maybe I just learned something about myself.

I do see a face in the rocks in the last one. That image really doesn't do the scene justice. It was later in the day, and the contrast between the warm light in the leaves and the cool bark of the trees was more striking. Perhaps I'll paint them in succession.
