I’m still super-focused on the tree and have made it to the trunk! :) More greens and browns are evident this close to the ground.

Still obsessed with the tree, I have reached the bottom! It’s warmer and greener here with less influence from the sky.

A little spot of sun hits this part of the tree, bringing in some bright yellows and oranges. It’s starting too look odd without any sky, but I keep wanting to paint the tree!  I’ll get to the sky later. :)

A little bit of sky peeks through this part of the tree, although it is still in shadow.

A little more work complete on the interior of the tree. The top of the tree reaches for the light, but in the depths shadows reign. :)

The top of the tree is complete and you can see this tree will be somewhat rotund. :) This is a big tree with a lot going on and will really fill the panel.

I’m continuing on with the top edge of the tree, feeling for it’s shape against what will be a warm blue sky. The tree is evolving into distinct areas of colour depending on how deep into the tree and where the light and shadows lie.

A little more on the deeper interior where things are denser and darker. :)

Coming around to the top of the tree, the leaves are a more delicate range of pinks and oranges. A riot and a jostle of colourful fall leaves playing hide-and-seek with sun and shadow. :)

I’m moving up higher in the tree this session and the leaves are lighter and bluer at this elevation. :) The sun is lightly touching the tree top and the sky peaks through the thinner canopy.
