From time to time I do commission work other than pet portraits. One that I recently completed was Susan’s Weeping Cherry Tree. After living with the painting for several weeks the client decided that she would like to have the house in the painting after all. So here is a snapshot of the painting after I added the house.
This was the original painting. I like having the house in it. It adds depth to the composition. It’s not always possible to go back into a painting and make it work but sometimes you get lucky. 🙂

Definitely with the house is best. This is a lovely setting, so peaceful.
