Decision-Making

So here's how the psychedelic ink tree is going... I'm quite happy with it so far, but can't decide if I should stop now and say it's finished, or to keep going... For this drawing my original intention was to have a line of grass just above the roots, with some flowers, some butterflies, and a deer looking off to the right... But then I got this far and wondered "does it even need that?" I lightly pencilled in the grass etc, you can barely see it in this scan, but maybe it gives you an idea of how it could be...you see the problem with pen and ink is that once it's down, it's down! No take-backs, no do-overs! I just have this nagging feeling that I want to finish it with my original intention, and see what happens. If I don't, I'll always wonder how it would have looked!
