The original painting is for sale. Another tree from the same location as yesterday–the park behind the botanical gardens. I used dark purples a small amount of orange on the trunk of the tree. I also used the orange to indicate some of the leaves that were still clinging to the branches.

The original painting is for sale. I may have an obsession with painting tree branches, I like the patterns and the colors the mix of warm and cool colors. For the bark I  used a combination of browns and purples, and I used gouache to highlight the lighter areas of the branches.
