Smaller pocket watch and hanging from a vine

 I decided the pocket watch was too large and distracting and it needed to hang from something organic like a vine. I changed the sketch. It still needs some more refining. Now I have to decide if I’m going to do this or skip submitting anything to the exhibit. I’m not sure if this is a good composition. I would hate to waste my time on a poor composition. Maybe there are too many elements. Is the pocket watch needed? What about the raven? What about the doorway? Maybe the face is too centered. Maybe the watch should be embedded in the tree. Maybe the face should be old and wrinkled.

After I finish my sister’s gift I will pull fabrics and see if anything works. Plus I need to decide if this composition is good or not.

Thanks for reading.
