In the photograph, the branches kind of grab your eye and lead it back into the building and all of its interesting angles and activity.<BR/><BR/>I think you need to add in something on the right hand side to function like the tree does and push your eye back into the focal point of the painting.<BR/><BR/>That being said, I think you definitely need to add the white highlights in there, and I really do like the minimalist background, although maybe a really grayed out version of your original background would be more effective?<BR/><BR/>Or, I could just be full of it.<BR/><BR/>:-DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07836025853467638590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10866040.post-14446797609128027222008-11-15T07:56:00.000-05:002008-11-15T07:56:00.000-05:00I like reading through your process, but I have no...I like reading through your process, but I have no idea how to fix it either.

Maybe letting the problem roll around in your mind will bring a solution to the surface.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10866040.post-3645325440164856572008-11-14T21:20:00.000-05:002008-11-14T21:20:00.000-05:00Why don't you leave the whole roof intact with the...Why don't you leave the whole roof intact with the porch and umbrella as is but close in on the right.
