Sun through the trees in the fall

I made some changes to this maple painting to get the effect of the sun shining through the trees. I think it's better but wonder whether it would work as two paintings.

Sun through the trees

Worked at Christie Conservation Area yesterday while there was a highschool crosscountry run going on around me. Kept me from feeling lonely. Workked on it again last night. Will post the revised edition later. This maple had all it's limbs reaching toward the East, and some leaf left along the bottom. The Fall colours are wonderful!
