Looking a\u00a0 painting in reduced form as in a photograph does help to pinpoint unhappy areas.\u00a0 The sky is too bright a blue, creating energy where quiet is required.\u00a0 I have something of a conundrum here, as using a lighter blue will undermine the light on the path, while greys will reduce the impact of the trees.\u00a0 Even so I think the latter is the way to go as the light is a more important feature of the painting.<\/p>\n
