It has gone through many changes. What was in my head is partly portrayed, but it changed along the way of course, we artists know how that goes. I did not have any trees to fit what I had in mind in my archives, so I made it up.
I love David Voigt's work, an Aussie artist who while I lived in Oz back in the late 90's, was doing sectional landscapes, divided with geometry.
I also did this for a long while in my watercolors, Rae's way of course, but he was the master I emulated. He also went to my college a few years before I did. Neat huh?
My tree painting was also an attempt to try this technique again, and it sure made me crazy with so many verticals. A semi abstraction if you will, not quite a full blown one though.
The difficult part is knowing when to stop adding and subtracting parts, one could go on and on, and as I said, this make the poor artist (ME) crazy!
So here is it in all it's glory, I would love comments please.

DON'T TOUCH IT!! It's beautiful just as it is. You achieved the result I wanted to get many months ago when I screwed up my tree painting. Ha

Thanks Vic, it sure was challenging though..all that red..
I am still not convinced it's a done deal, but I will wait a while and see how I feel after looking at it for a week.. hee hee.
or maybe in the dark, I am sure it will GLOW! Ha!!

I agree, I think you could leave it just as it is. It's gorgeous! I love the colors and the stylization of the trees and leaves.
Rae - I love this painting... in fact I had it on my new laptop as a screen saver (in tiles). It is similar to what I like to do, but SO much better. Just getting a handle on this pastel business. You are a true inspiration. Nancy Tate, Winnsboro, Tx, new member
Wow I am flattered Nancy, thanks so much.
I am thrilled you are inspired by my art, that is all so rewarding to hear.
Happy painting
Rae
