You have all the details needed and the colors are bright and lovely. I think you fixed the Cedar tree so it looks good now.

I love the mommy owl’s eyes! They exude pure love on her baby. I like that you added the moon too. It’s really beautiful.

Try it on a scrap of paper and put it on the painting. If you like the addition, then do it to the painting.
