Hello there Organized Confusion. I just love the name of your blog! Thanks so much for visiting my blog and commenting. I like both versions of the children in the tree, but I agree that the addition of the dog and eliminating the girl in the white dress improved the composition. The dog helps to balance the piece against the tree trunk, and the more evident shadow on the ground leads your eye back in, and around the painting. It's a lovely piece.
