Or, perhaps it's to do with the quality of the line I generated in the original drawing ... very definitely organic and emphasising the shapes of the tree growth ? <br /><br />Generally when I do this sort of abstraction it is quite hard at the end to see where the images originated. It will be interesting to try again and see what happens.Charlton Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052815242463837033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-22339586069574766842016-06-21T05:43:11.707+01:002016-06-21T05:43:11.707+01:00Impressive play!

Not sure why but the last variation may appeal the most. But I also like the first darker versions.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-8131727008351864232016-06-20T21:21:21.741+01:002016-06-20T21:21:21.741+01:00I find it fascinating that with all the interestin...I find it fascinating that with all the interesting manipulation the trees remain trees.Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.com
