A little editing

So here we are.
And the memory remains

Me, the artist at work

I think removing the apple and the curves in the background centralize the focus
I got rid of the apple and I think that was a wise decision, I have also decided to change the sky part of the background to a patchy warm red with a slight warm yellow peeking through, I am aiming for contrast and hopefully that'll make it pop! give depth and dimension, the tree is also changing from a burnt sienna esc color to a light khaki but I think I will go for a soft, almost white, grey. I am also finding that layering is helpful something that I haven't really gone for before I usually just whack color on and leave it single and sometimes double layered, but with this I have gone for the layer, upon layer, upon layer effect and allowing the previous colors to come through.
I am currently going through a restart sort of process where I am working from the back to the front and being very careful and precise about it all that way the hopefully there will be no over lapping seen.
