Trees. Always Trees.





The set of trees on the left are part of my watercolor tree project; I intend to combine them wth two other trees (also in watercolor) and mount them on black paper. The leftmost tree is River Birch which the others are Fir, I am pleased with the way they turned out and how their species is obvious from my painting. I tried to focus on the individuality of the kind of tree and capture it, and it worked well I think.

The set on the right is the weaker project, something i am still working on. It is meant to contrast colors amongst the same tree species (Maple.) Although the blue color sceme is unrealistic, I enjoy it and plan to pen two others...perhaps a green one and a purple; complementary colors fascinate me. I also intend to mount the finished four on black paper, and suggestions as to the color of the two I have yet to draw are welcome.

I love love love the contrast you have with the blue tree and then the fall colored tree it almost reminds me of two worlds that are total opposites. LOVE IT!
