Leaves and Shadows

I think that this is finished...it has a "finished feel" to it, although I never really lightened the background as much as I had first envisioned it. I think that the darker colors work okay. I tried adding more light blue and it began fading out the leaves.

Also, I was going to add even more detail, but was able to stop myself in time to keep the painting looking fresh. (I am especially proud that I resisted the urge to blend).

I hope you enjoy it. Please visit again.
