The Rebellious Curator

This is the original painting as I first painted it. I wanted to depict spring blossoms on a tree. Baker was secondary subject and strictly from memory. After a few years, I felt the painting was weak and lacked depth. 

So I made the changes and transformed the tree and surrounding area into Fall. 

I rarely if ever use reference photos so this was completely from my own imagination. 

I would love to know which is your favourite.
