"On My Easel" 9x9 oil/linen work-in-progress

I re-work composition, value.
I choose  the cheerful yellow colors for the painting.
I managed some texture, need to make them more interesting.
Need to make focal point to stand out.

 original oil/linen work-in-progress

 this 9x9 linen tacked to a hardboard to work.
 rough texture of this surface is a bit of a challenge to brushwork.
