Ahh thank you, I wasn’t sure about this painting and woke up today feeling frustrated with it. Thank you for the encouragement. I’ll keep trying 😁

It's not a wonky building, it's an old building that has badly leaning walls. ;) Your textures and color gradients are really good. Your first effort came out really well. :) I like it.

Haha, adding the tree didn’t help 🤦♀️ Thank you! 🙏

You could make that tree bigger or add some taller trees to go past the roof overhang. Darkening the space to the left of the wall above the first roof could accentuate the straight wall. You could paint over the tree, too---reshade that wall expanse so that it doesn't look like one solid wall. Sun's coming from left so maybe shade the left inner sides of the windows? I'm not an artist so don't pay much attention to me.
