Major Project- Stylistic development (sun and trees)

Here are the stylistic designs that i have been creating, i wanted to show a mixture of accentuating light and dark tones within the images to get a sense of different times in the day. I wanted to show variation between detail and abstract images to show that the composition will still work if its simplified or made complex. i have looked at the sun and the light it presents throughout the day to create these different tones surrounding the light source. 

I typically like creating textured pieces or pieces that look traditionally painting so over all that will be a style that i am looking to achieve.
