I saw an image in a commercial which had a dark sky, sloping hill and lots of white flowers. I didn't take a picture of it so some of it was lost in memory translation. You can see in the gif below that I had the original slop and darker clouds, but that was where I departed. I actually like the darker clouds but the brighter clouds offer a more pleasant aura. I also like the strong contrast between the original yellow field and dark foliage. However, in the final version, I think the field better leads your eyes into the painting and the possibilities beyond the horizon. The field was a bit bare and I always get some joy seeing trees standing alone in a field - so I dropped one in. This was painted on wall art printed on a box (or museum wrap). I explain that a bit below.
Left: The original wall art print repurposed for Yesterday - hence its title.
Right: A gif showing some stages. It covers 11 days with work on four days.
Yesterday is essentially a hollow box. I would call it a box frame, but this is not what's typically meant by that term. I think a better term is museum wrapped with a gray edge.
