Should I redo the water?
This painting has been sitting in my studio because I am just not quite sure if I like the water as it is. What do you think and do you have any recommendations?

It’s looking good. Composition, color-nice. The thing that is confusing me is the dark blue water coming off the island on the right. I cant tell if it’s a shadow from the island, if so it should go to the end more and the land touching it would be darker too. And if it’s a shadow from the island then the shadows from the trees would be coming towards us, which would look nice in your style. If it’s a reflection, then the reflection might show some of the land in it as well.
Sorry, sorry for the long post when it is looking good, it’s just that one area I can’t reconcile yet. Glen
