Trouble with Landscape

Soprano territory, Northeastern New Jersey. I find landscapes compelling probably because I can't do them. I enjoy trying, but the result is always much more dull than I had intended. Erik Tiemens web site is swollen with gorgeous guache landscapes. Craig Mullens, another hero. Sure, Constable, Sargent, Wyeth, (all of 'em) Rembrandt no slouches either. An interesting disconnect exists between my eyes and the page I'm working on.
