This is a very loose approach that i tried. I tried to emphasise certain parts of version one, whilst keeping the loose effect. Would appreciate some comments ;)
go well all

This r0x0rzzzz... Looks like a new-age Van Gogh thing. Great pic, mx!!!

I think it's really cool.. the lighting and the colors and your liney style.

Yes! Very Van Gogh0-ish.. I like this...you can feel how high that ladder goes!

Well I had to add any input to this cause it's such a neat picture.. just one thing is that is looks like he is standing up straight rather than in the same angle as the ladder. I'm not sure if you meant for that to happen like he's coming up out of a hole or something though. It's a really nice picture at any gander :)

Thanks you guys for the comments.
Shmoopy: thanks for your words+ compliment (its not new-age influenced at all though(dreams may often seam like new-age, but this is not :) )
davincipop: thanks, i intended it to go high- i was caught in two minds: van Gogh or some other artist i know personally)
Aubrey...You noticed something that i wondered if people will notice or wonder about it. I knew that the angle was wrong quite late in the painting. It didnt bug me enough to change it. I suppose it adds to the "difficulty" of climbing this ladder in life at times. I guess i`ll keep it like that for now, but i guess i shuold have been more specific with the approach of climbing, or have gone the other route(correct angle and easy climbing). Well noticed.
thanks supergurl :)
Go well all.

Was just checking out your gallery, and this one is my favorite. I did notice the body's angle in relation to the ladder, and I wondered about it... briefly...makes it look to me slightly like this is a tunnel at an angle and not like a straight down well, but it isn't off enough to detract from the effect you were trying to get across so really doesn't matter. I love the feeling it gives me to look at it.

Thanks deadlyblonde:)
Is this artwork too seperate from my other style of artworks though?
Do you think my work looks like its done by the same artist, or is each artwork too individual causing me to be "undiscovered" in my own style?
