1. Yes, it is salvageable

You can go with the changes that your canvas needs now. Just forget what you originally wanted to do. All you’ve done is work more on the lower right quadrant, but it doesn’t look messed up. It looks more developed than the rest of the painting. You can work on the rest of the painting to get it as developed. I really like your bank of flowers in the lower left. If you define those more it will help balance your composition. Try that and see if it works.

I like what you’ve done with the shadow in the water. It looks broken up the way it would on moving water.

If you feel you’re ruining it then you have nothing to lose by just continuing to work on it. There’s freedom in that. If you just make a mess of it then just let it go and start a whole new painting.
