I'm thinking that you're a fan of O'Keeffe. Smile

I really like this, the design is strong & I really love that sky!

If I were to change anything, I would think about punching up the trees a bit, as they seem a little chalky, you know? A glaze of colour in the highlights of the trees might do the trick?

I am a fan of O'keefe. About the smoke trees, if you have ever seen them, they actually are that smoky color with really no green at all. They grow in the desert and usually in an arroyo where there is a hint of water. Thanks for the comment. Ruth

Ah, well that explains it! I've never seen the desert, nor the smoke trees.
