The artist may want to consider a few changes to the composition to
make this a better painting. The placement of the large tree on the
left-hand side would be more effective if the tree didn’t run off the
side of the canvas. The shadows should also be consistent across the
composition, which means extending the shadows of the smaller plants. I
would also suggest moving the horses to the right side of the
composition—since the horses are the focal point of the composition, it
would be more effective to place them off center.
