Heeding the advice of Laure (maybe a few "well placed" darks) and Jeanne ("don't over think it") I did a little more work on the Tuscan villa. After I read Laure's comment on the first posting I let it sit for a few hours and then looked at it. She was right. It did need some "pop". But before I put color to card I thought of Jeanne's advice and knew that she was telling me not to go hog wild with the darks. I tried to keep both goals in mind.
I do like the revised version much better.... thank you both for your advice... so appreciated!

Love it! Love it! Love it! Your line of small trees leads the eye back into the countryside and your tree on the right give the eye a place to rest as well as keep the eye from leaving the image.
WOWZA!! Yep, that bit of dark sure made this sizzle!! GLORIOUS, cara!
I liked it before and now it is even more gorgeous! I can't believe you got all of this into such a small space.
Beautiful ! What an attractive and interesting blog you have, your work is lovely, I am so impressed by your portraits ! Look forward to visiting again, Ellie
The well-placed darks really did make this into a strong piece - its so great to get good advice from interested and sharing artists out there! This is lovely Teresa.
The added darks gave this real pizazz! Hope you're enjoying the snow!
Great job Teresa! It does "pop" now. Looks great!
Cathy... I have been so humbled, on occasion surprised, and always thankful for the wonderful community of art bloggers. I've never seen a group of people who are so quick to offer encouragement, advice and a welcome to those who want to make the art journey along with them. Truly, art bloggers are a very special bunch of people!
I love your Tuscant picture - I know Tuscan quite well and I feel you have captured the tranquility of the area very well.
