Hello,
This month's Challenge subject is: Trees. Any variation of trees, one or more tree, any type of tree, just think "trees" Then post the trees for everyone to see.
Thanks

Re: This month's Ab/Con Challenge
Did this little gouache and pen study on watercolor paper, in the on-call "sleep room" after a long tiring shift at the hospital. Very therapeutic. May turn it into a larger oil work.
Ciao!

Re: This month's Ab/Con Challenge
Todd, love the trees, good contrast..and they have a curvy, illustrative, surreal style which I particularly like
PushingPixels, the 1st drawing is my fav..gorgeous tree drawing good darks and good feeling conveyed (my kind of tree)
Michelle, great red trees here. The little one is my fav..great little tree
Jon, looks like a quilt of patterns..fun to make..would be interesting to see the larger oil
I think I will post a tree tomorrow too

Re: This month's Ab/Con Challenge
Interesting swirling effect there with the reds and oranges Bill
Here's a quick study I just did a few days ago of trees. I had fun painting (haven't painted in many months or maybe a year) CandCwelcome
