Hanging in there!

Looks like stiff competition but I think the little tree will make it after all.
Several layers used.
Negative painting experiment.

Neal.... a very interesting work... I like the composition and the bare trees done in warm colors...I like the build up and volume and form against the black.... a very tasty work as Caesar says......

Neal, a very nice forest of trees with great lighting

Had no idea what to expect, very interesting creation, like the transparency and pizazz of the leaves, evokes a sense of favour and hope. This is a gem

This sort of tree interweaving and its colors are very interesting and pleasant!

I really like how you painted the larger trees and it seems to have given the painting a kind of 3d depth.

Love this one Neal. It has such a haunting quality to it with the hope of fresh life to come. Well done

Thanks all, I'm happy you like it!

Neal, this reminds me of the Crape Myrtles down here. The smooth trunks are beautiful, a favorite of mine. A gorgeous painting!

Great idea marvelously done
