Tomorrow: plans are to create more flow and less of a hard line between background leaves and the trunk, plus add more reds and make this an early Autumn scene. Also I’d like this one to be less representational, so now that it’s mapped out will change to imply leaves and space more abstractly and play with subtle changes in planes.

    Hiya V! Yup, another tree painting to add to the collection. Thanks for responding about the colors – I’ll try not to dull them down too much when adding values today.
