I started working on this piece about two years ago and I’m stuck. I’m making this for my 91 year-old mother, but she wants me to draw something in the middle but I can’t for the life of me figure out what to draw. I’ve thought about a wagon wheel, but I didn’t know that that would really fit there
It’s a great image! Maybe a tree or two like the one behind the building, but bigger because they’re closer? It might be just enough to fill that space a bit. Or possibly an animal?
 
I’m also playing with what CEEJAY said she said tumbleweeds are all over South Dakota why don’t you put a tumbleweed there?
 
Mace, I would put a sweet old cottage there with a front porch and flower gardens on each side of the walkway I'll direct message you. I'd put that wagon wheel out front by the fence .
 
The cottage idea sounds great...what's a barn without the cottage next to it...i'll have to draw some specs for that wonder if i should offset it a bit like back by the bushes or right next to the barn @wildholly
 
toying with the idea of changing the rocks into mountains instead. they look a little wonky. Not really sure why I drew them so separated like that.
 
I would keep the rocks...That gives it a look of the old west. Like parts of Arizona.
You could always add higher mountains in the background and leave the rocks formations, they look authentic.
 
They are authentic I can guarantee you that I stopped by the Roadside a lot and take pictures and then I draw them when I get home
 
A lot of my times my mom will be driving and I will be doing shotgun as she calls it while I’m taking pictures like crazy on my phone
 
Now you just need to remember to post a pic when finished so we will all know what you decided!
