This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
Making a Christmas painting for my mom inspired by the below photo.
It is still very much a work in progress. I've decided I don't like the tree in the background. I plan to paint over it and I'm looking for advice on what to put there instead that will balance the colors and composition.
Current ideas include a window with some kind of snow scene, or just make it a red wall, maybe with a vague wallpaper pattern.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or feedback.
I like it. I would perhaps try adding a bit of depth, like opening up the wall of green in the background or adding a silhouette to the foreground (nothing too busy). Most importantly, don't listen to advice too much because only you know your own style.
