Memories of Country Life -changes

I opened up the road at the bottom, removed some of the wild grasses/wild flowers to create a softer curve, brought tree deadwood branches lower and to the top, enlarged my bush on left to slow down the straight line, & added sky color to red roof. I find it difficult to make adjustments with oil...it is not forgiving as man say. Hopefully I have a better composition? At least I learned a lot!!!
