As I near the completion of my paintings, I set it up on an easel in a location where I can view it often. I make many improvements in this critiquing process. I also take other peoples constructive criticism serious.

 
The distant trees to the right of the house in the above picture are too light.  I used a wash to darken them as seen in the picture below.  

In the above picture, I have highlighted the boards on the side of the house using a 10/0 brush.

This illustration also shows how I dabbed the snow on the fir trees using white with a little blue and black.

I will be adding more trees before I consider the painting finished.   I will publish a picture of the the finished painting soon.
