This painting has existed in several versions and has developed over a very long period of time - approximately 2 years. Sometimes it takes several attempts to get a painting just right and this was one such painting.
The original view (i.e. the real life view) doesn’t have the tree in the left middleground area. It took a long time for me to realise that real life was artistically ‘wrong’ and that I need to make some improvements! With the addition of the trees, the viewers eye now has a lead-in to the painting which makes the composition much more satisfying.
