I just finished this painting.  I thought I had finished it up a few days ago, but upon studying it more, I felt I needed to darken the left tree trunk to give it more contrast, plus touch up a few other spots.  Overall, I'm happy with the way it turned out.  With each painting, I'm trying to continue to explore color, the juxtaposition of colors (tints, pastels, shades, etc.).  Beyond that, and more importantly really, is my focus on content.
