2:50 PM: when i cast my first glance at atsuita, it looked a bit too busy and fuzzy. so i went over the yellowish-reddish whites with a brighter white, made adjustments to the unresolved upper right corner, a black diagonal band of color in the upper right and added a few green verticles. when i glance at it now (i say glance because that quick look allows me to evaluate what might me off in the composition or color) it looks a lot better, but as always, i’ll know better in the morning.
