Mackay's Clouds touched up

OK. I've touched it up in the studio. I think that it works better. I only looked at the cloud edges, and softened the transitions. What do you think? Have I transgressed against the ethos of the plein air painter? Am I compromised? Or is it ok? Over to you guys...
I think that the studio photo is better too.




15021. "Clouds over Mackay's Bluff " oil on panel. 6x8 in.

    Yes, like this one Ross. Softer, enticing and bright like a summers day. Draws one in to want to know what the person is doing (at least I hope that is a person I see?)

    I don't know what they are doing either. Just wandering on the tidal flats, enjoying the day? Looking at the birds? It is quite firm underfoot. In places.
    I think it is still a plein air painting.
    You know I'm always uneasy about soft and enticing. Grin...
