Wonderful work and wonderful critiques.

My comment relates to depth. We can learn alot from Thomas Kinkaide, fan or no fan of his dreamland paintings, especially when working in depth of field. The farther away things are, the paler the colors appear. Your painting shows the distant elements in the same color values as the foreground, creating too much intensity in the background. Perhaps it is not too late to put a glaze on the background areas that will bring the sense of depth that is missing.
