TD~
Not a bad palm tree. I think you got a very nice palm frond look. I find it palm fronds very tough. They have a hundred little leaves, and if you try to represent them all, you'll go nuts and end up over working the thing, and if you try to only suggest them you sometimes get a non plam looking mush.

However, you got a good palm going there.

It's got the suggestion of fronds, and a nice depth to the bushy tree bit.

Now I hate to make any suggestions, because the tree is coming out so nice. But, if I don't say anything, I'm not really doing my job as a fellow art collective member. So...... remember your camp fire is on the ground below the tree. Is the light hitting the tree correctly?

TD, any and all suggestions I make are only as valuable as you decide they are. It's your painting, and you're the one teaching yourself to paint. (and you're doing well).

Keep going, your doing great!
