What Looks Easy ... Often Offers Greatest Challenges

Okay... so we're building a simple tree with a few clumps of snow here and there. It's a slow process for me, mostly because I haven't sufficiently studied trees with snow on the limbs. I know I should have. I live in the mountains... but I admit that of late, when it starts to snow, I drive off the mountain to my studio condo. I don't mind the snow as much as I HATE icy roads which are so very common in our little one lane winding canyon road.

After painting in the branches, this is mostly a matter of painting away negative space which will start to integrate the limbs.

Just about ready for the next step which will finally involve a sewing machine!
