This is cool - first impression. I like the ladybug, strawberry, bird, birdhouse and the central composition. But I don't think the pieces floating around the outside are working compositionally. All the same size, each with its own meaning, no major or minor or linked up 'strings' of images.
But this is a learning exercise and possibly you were trying out colours on your drawings.
But...! When I made a circle with my thumb and forefinger and look through it at the centre part, slightly cropped, I love the image I see, including the composition. Try it!
Thanks Bill, I agree it looks better focused in on the central bird house composition.
After I initially created the bird house composition, there was quite a lot of white space around it and so I tried to create the sense of a windy day with leaves and garden things flying around. I also felt the additional objects in this composition did not quite work. It was one of my first attempts with colour, I was also experimenting with colour and techniques.
