Hi Will,
To be honest, I liked the first version the best. It has a certain freshness that was lost later. The composition with the round window was original. Some of that is lost by adding the green leaves and the stones, I think. Also, the painting of the child looks overworked to me in the later version. I'm sorry to be so negative on your changed version of the piece. Maybe something to consider for a second version of the original composition?
Greetings,
Peter
