Ok I’m back from the Hospitol and surgery, and all went well. They found more than we was hoping for but was able to repair with another stent. That make two of them stents inside me and hoping that will be all. I came home yesterday where I set down in my recliner and relaxed. Not being able to sit still I started in on my latest piece and dont know what is missing. I look at this and can’t see what is need on here so I need your input. Tell my what is over abunance and what is lacking. HELP JIM
Ok, After working on here to the point that, no more sanding could be done. I have stopped at rrying to come up with the right shade and fullness, to make this picture complete. A little more was done after taking this picture and the finish is still in the process. After completing the finish I will show you all the finish product in a new listing. Thanks to all, whom gave there suggestions and letting me come up with the best one yet, So says my wife. Thank You Jim

Glad to hear you are doing well Jim! Looks like you need just a bit of grass in the foreground. It is looking good so far.

Glad you’re all right. I have an Uncle that’s had that done a couple of times, he’s 97 now.
Dennis is right, more grass in the front.

shadows under the trees. what direction is the lite coming from?
should be shadows under/beside deer. depending on direction of lite.
grass is in mid air. needs to be angored to ground. put a touch of shading for the dirt/ground thu the grass.
fill in some of the foreground grass. different lengths of grass.
maybe a shub or two.
trees are good.
could be a touch ligther on the side the lite hits them.
you can take a knife and scrape some of the dark of if needed.
maybe a cloud or two behind trees?
a hill or shubs behind trees to make a horzion?
grass around the feet of the forground deer. to ankgor it .
deer in backroun dhas no ears.
sorry if this sound like a lot. you are improving so much.

What a great little lesson in art critique. I looked at Jim’s work and said to myself, “This doesn’t need any changes – I like it the way it is.”
Then I read Dick and Pat’s comments and saw where it could be improved. It reminds me of Christ’s teaching about eyes that do not see.
Open my eyes, Lord!

Glad to hear you are doing well.
The only thing I was thinking of was some kind of texture to the sky, to give it a more 3D look.
Good job.
