Painting One, Step Nine

Problem solving...

Here they are side-by-side, before and after. Problem solving in small steps. First, the snow scratched on the trees, then the cactus brought into the color scheme of the picture plus repainted for scale. Notice more detail on the road plus vehicle tracks in the ice and slush. And finally, my son was home for Thanksgiving and suggested oil well pumps.
Now the problem...wait a minute, I had an old Boss who required I call them challenges. He was right, the new challenge is my cactus died (they look like dark blobs against the snow) and I have to revive them. On to challenge solving. When finished I will post it to the left. Or if it happens in stages, I will post progress.

Seems the history of this painting is "scratch." I have never painted one that required so much scratching to white...but, it appears to have revived my cactus on the left.
