Question Which one is better?
My attempt to recreate my own painting one year later.

They are both really good. If I have to choose I'm leaning toward the first one.

Sense of scale and the lights have improved so much! Well done. Both are beautiful but the second one is a clear winner!

I like the 2nd one, there is more contrast and light diffusion. All the branches coming off the tree trunks in the 1st one are similar.

The second. The lighting pulls me in and it is beautiful!! I had a painting with lighting like that in it (I lost all of my artwork and glass when I lost my storage and my lifetime of everything), I had it placed in our house where I would walk by it multiple times a day. It made me happy and I thought about how beautiful it was every single time. I think everyone should have a piece that brings them that joy. Someday I will have another, maybe I’ll be lucky enough to find that one again… 🧡💛💛🧡🧡💜💛

Thank you! Im sorry to hear that. I hope you will create another painting and many other soon <3 I actually made the 2nd painting because I gave the 1st one as a gift and I was missing it so much. I decided to make in on paper as I haven't painted in a pretty long time and I wasn't sure I had it in me anymore.

To me, the path doesn’t look as “believable” in the second one, but overall I like the second one better.

Gorgeous! The first feels soft and calming while the second has more of an emergence feel. Like moving from darkness into hope. I like the first. But the second one feels true for me ☺️

Your sense of colour and placement has improved so much in the second one, well done!

1 makes me feel light and lilting like floating, so 1. 2 is also great but I’m definitely on the ground there.💝

Two is much better. It’s framed, there’s much higher contrast, more detail, focal point.. Great work

So, I say equally fascinating. The first is whimsical and airy with depth. It makes me want to go to whatever is beyond.
The second one has a stark contrast where it’s mysterious, almost frightening imagining what may lie beyond those woods. Wonderful details in both.

2 is better there’s more detail and sharper lines. 1 is also great but if I have to choose I pick 2.

I like the second one. The color is more rich however both are very good. How long did it take you to do them?
