"Fiddler's" Glen A.K.A. Paradise Valley

Here's my two cents. 8x10, oil on canvas board.
As always, C&C greatly appreciated!

I started thinking about Paradise and all our talk of "Fiddling" and thought of the Fiddler's Green Legend: It is a mythical afterlife (Paradise) where there is perpetual mirth, a fiddle that never stops playing (me and my brush!) and dancers who never tire. I changed it to Glen, because it is a valley.

What specifically worries you? There are land and water "strips" out there. Check out Richard's photo and let me know what you suggest.
