To be able to change elements in a painting using digital techniques is both a blessing and a curse. This is an example of a piece I am working on for my portfolio. At some point I have to make the ultimate decision to continue with the painting of one of these four versions. If you click on the image you can see all four images.

The tree was like a ladder to the sky. Owen climbed until he could clearly see the length of the river below. From this point, high in the tree he spotted the rowboat. As it passed beneath him he knew he had only moments to sound the alarm.

I moved the boy from higher in the tree to bring him closer
to the foreground and give more impact to his mission.

This is interesting! Have you decided which one you are going to use? Its amazing how just some changes transforms a piece. Thanks for posting this!
this has always been one of my favorite in all of your paintings. i know you'll be able to choose the best.
Thanks for sharing all four. I agree, it is amazing how a few changes change a piece so much!
I have a personal bias for the bottom left. I love the atmosphere, depth and almost tension that you've created. There's so much more anticipation. I also like that the branch doesn't cover so much of the town. Well that's just my humble opinion. I'm sure you'll pick the one that you think is best.
