Just something quick and simple to keep me amused while my attention span is low. Painted in Krita.

Nice sky gradient sky there! Some nice colors.

Not sure if you are looking for feedback on this quick study ... but here goes ;) With a bright sky behind it, I believe the tree would appear a lot darker. A trick I usually do is to make a new layer above the existing one, set it to multiply and fill it with a good shadow-fill color (like a cool blue tint, for this case, to catch fill light from the blue sky where the setting sunlight can't reach). Then use a soft brush to delete in that dark layer, to bring back out the brighter bits.

Here's a quick example in GIMP that is probably too dark, but it exemplifies what I mean:
