At first I thought, this is pretty simple. I left it on the screen for a while. As I kept looking at it, I liked it more and more, it's quite pleasing. Good for you for going in a different direction, you going to keep going? I'd like to see the developments.........

I Love it! This reminds me of the fiddle head ferns comming up in the woods only with character.
I just took another look before I left and I swear it moved!

a good illustration for something, but a bad painting because it has uneven composition. it is as if the rectangular surface (of the painting) could be die cut in the shape of the fronds and they could then stand as a sculpture in front of anything.
what?

Like Leaflin said...I immediately thought of Fiddlehead ferns...*SMILE* I like your composition and colors. I wonder what this would look like with cerulean blue/green background...or ...maybe a red background. curious.

Zotma - Thanks I was trying to produce something simple and yet bold hence the plain background
-----------------------------------------
Olika & Leaflin – thankyou,
------------------------------------------
Jerryw – This particular subject or variations of is used a lot in jewellery design here in NZ mostly cut out of green stone (jade)
------------------------------------------
Impulse – Cheers, as to where next who knows I think a bit more exploration
-------------------------------------------
Donberg & Fagan – Colours, yes I pondered over this for a while then just gave up thinking about it grabbed some paint an went for it, an am happy with the result. Sometimes it pays not to think but do.
