          Here is a color study and a potential layout.
          Questions:
          How is the compositional layout?
          What is working?
          What would you change?
          Does it read that the mice lit the fireworks?
          Does it fit the theme?
          Should I include a little "whistling kitty chaser" reference? (Why else would the mice be into the fireworks?)

            @chrisaakins one thing that made the thumbnail of this stand out for me was that the fireworks broke the frame of the image. Are you planning to keep that in the final image? This larger version feels a bit tame now compared to the thumbnail.

              Here is more progress. Thanks for the critique @neschof I changed it to make it a more centered composition and made it so they are breaking the frame.

                Adding texture as I begin to paint my background.

                  @chrisaakins Great job so far! I also loved the mice breaking the frame - glad you added it back in.
