This is a warm up for the main tree image in the center of the painting. I like the shape of the tree and the seasons changing. I played with different weather in background for seasons - not sure if I will use that or not, although I like the winter snowflakes quite a bit. : ) May be too much color & stuff for the final with everything else going on. tree will definitely need more contrast as well as leaves, etc. Fun exercise and I came away with a better understanding of what my creative mind wants for this project. : )
