Hey Tom, I am critiquing this because you asked not because I think I have an special expertise. I love the textures here. Your textures are always fantastic. The frosted glass look is really nice, and it looks a bit like paintings I have seen that have wax applied over them. The abstract nature of the trees is really nice and the color harmony of the piece is near perfect.
If I have anything at all to add to your thinking about the painting, that is that the composition seems to lack a strong center of interest. You clearly worked to balance the composition of the trees, but here the moon is the focus of the painting, but I think the trees kind of fight for that. My only idea for addressing it is more leading lines and maybe more contrast around the moon, but honestly that would compromise the frosted glass effect.
Anyway, as I said, I am not necessarily much of an authority on this, but I figured I would try to contribute.
