Is it done yet?

The large one is going on my classroom door this week. No time to start over! Should I:

1) Darken the upper sky more even if it goes opaque and loses snowflakes?

2) Brighten the star?

3) Scrub some of the darks?

4) Do anything else to the snow on the lower branches and ground?

5) Do more to the ornaments?

6) Add string/hooks to the ornaments?

7) Add background trees to cover the silly extra top branches?

8) Add metallic accents? (5 year olds love bling. LOL)

just a little bit of punctuation. a hint of a trunk, and a hint of a shadow off the branches. fine lines. right next to whites for punch.

It doesn’t need a single thing more. I think they simply sparkle! Beautiful!

you run the risk of losing the clarity you have now. What is it for? It would make a very nice Christmas card.

Both the large and small are beautiful, but I particularly love the smaller one...something about the direction of the boughs 😊
