So, I worked on this one again. I know it's not there yet. I'm posting it to compare with the previous version which has been painted over. Two of you caught problems with the light source. Thanks! I'm still struggling with the trunks... but, BOY! did I have fun just digging in there with the dark background color and making some of them disappear! Making them bend was fun, too! Makes me feel like a sculptor ... and takes pressure off of being concerned about the brush stroke.

What do YOU think?
