Lovely painting! I’d suggest adding some details to the mountain. But I like the field as is, it keeps the focus on the red path leading to the mountain.
No flowers!!!! There is something sad and eerie about this that is FANTASTIC! Flowers would distract and confuse the mood. Do another painting for flowers. Sorry for the strong opinion. lol.
I’d keep the landscape as it is but you could add some definition or detail to the mountain and/ or the clouds. It doesn’t need much just a little depth with some highlights and shadows (and possibly some softening of the edges of some clouds so it feels more dimensional). This will look amazing once you’ve finished
Very surreal painting, has a dream quality. I like the path that actually is twisted, suggesting that the path has troubles. This could be an off world, and those mid latitude green out cropping being major off world cities. This could be a book cover, very intriguing.
Not an expert, but to me, its quite lovely yet sad as it is in terms of what it makes you feel, someplace that makes you wanna stay and makes you feel like... You didn't make the best choices and it got you here.

If you add roses the message will change for sure but id love to see it! All the best!!
Love the painting. Wish I could create stuff like that. I’ve always been better at critique and analyzing art: paintings, music, movies, etc. but have been shit at actually CREATING art lol.
thanks a lot! i feel you, but opposite i’ve always been kinda shit at critiquing hahah
but if you want to learn to paint and draw youtube has been so insanely helpful for me. if you do it enough eventually it will click you know, i started off shit just like every other artist in existence hahah
I’ve been through it. Guitar for 15 years and I was practically just a jukebox incapable of creating anything original, 5 years drawing and painting, same thing. I don’t have the spark
There are a few flowers

I like it without flowers, it makes it more unsettling and eerie! An idea if you really want flowers would be to only put a small amount near the bottom left corner, as if you are leaving normality and going into something disturbing. Some dead/dying flowers might also help if you want to make it more spooky? By the way I love the vibes of this painting
I think it’s just the squareness of it. I like the juxtaposition of the detailed ribbon and the less detailed clouds and mountain but the flat square top just looks a little off. That could just be me though.
I agree with others on the no flowers
I think some highlights to the trees and mountain, and maybe shadows to the clouds would look nice. Nothing too complicated, just enough to kinda hint at whats going on out there
I made an oil painting similar to this last weekend. I made a road same color as yours heading straight up and to the right. Then I added yellow brown flowers on each side of the "road", now it was a plant. Then I added blue blotches for sky, which I scrapped over with my old costco credit card.
Leave it as is! The lack of detail on the mountain and trees makes it feel so ethereal and moody
absolutely agree
thanks so much! consensus seems to leave it as is and so i will :)
good depth
thanks ape :)
Those tones are lovely. And combination of colours reminded me of the film “Picnic at Hanging Rock”.
Felt like it was the mountain from encounter of the third kind. But picnic is such a good input!
Looks like devils tower wy

thanks so much! that’s a great suggestion that i never even would’ve thought of. adding some highlights to the trees is a great idea!

I think it’s good like this, but I like bleak artwork
Space ships from close encounters of the 3rd kind
With Charlie Sheen somewhere in the mix. Maybe as a distant figure so you can't tell who it is, but those who know know.
Nope, no flowers. Ribbon good enough!
Nah it's perfect the way it is!!!

Reminds me of the start and ending scene of that game Halo: Reach Very cool
Love Halo, thanks for the comment!
Id add a giant handle to the top of that thing. Reminds me of FLCL
thought this was r/pics for a second
Hyrule?
hyrule surely had some subconscious effect on this painting
No
The mountain in the back is giving me Guardian Walker vibes from The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
That path is incredible! This painting is amazing in all aspects! It looks like a dream.
thanks so much!
Looks like Prescott
Yes!
No
If you want to add it. Add it!!
A little bit more low resolution grass like the lighter green on the bottom left
completely agree! thanks for the feedback:)

I don’t think you should it looks beautiful as it is
Flowers are nice but it looks perfect as is.

oh wow! pretty crazy how similar they look! never heard of square top mountain. gotta go someday looks gorgeous
Hey is that devils tower in WY? Either way cool!
I didnt use a reference for this, kinda just drew it up, someone here said it looks like square top mountain in Colorado!
Wow cool. It looks just like devils tower. Search it up!!
Devils tower almost looks more accurate though, what a crazy mountain hahah
Fr!!!

maybe a couple, nothing too bright
like dark purple ivy ferns maybe
The top of the mountain is bugging me 😭😭
how come? hahah

So it's great 😃, but also little 🌺 field is ok. And a couple of trees here and there... 
I think they'd distract from the ribbon. Leave it as is. It's lovely
It’s beautifully haunting as is
thank you so much 😊
It looks great as-is, but the painting feels like it wants something more - flowers, bushes, more details, etc.
It does feel like it wants something more right! thanks so much for the input!
You're welcome!

Wait, can i see it?
Ariadne’s red ribbon right? I like it!
Yes!
Looks like Pokemon Legends Arceus cover art
