Using my artistic license

Using my artistic license I’ve added some shadows in an effort to give this painting a little depth while strategically arranging things to help guide the viewers eye through the scene. Diagonals are always a good idea but the original photo didn’t have what I was looking for, so I added the string of flags. I’m hoping this element will help guide the viewers eye from the red car to the gone fishin sign up to the frog hollow sign to the lamp, through the tree branches and back down to the red car. I still have a lot more work to do on this painting, I want to fix the car up a little and perhaps add more detail here and there ,so for now I’ll let it dry and come back to it with some new ideas.
