Wish I had taken a picture of this before I "fixed" it. Oh man was it ugly. I don't like sepia. Every time I use sepia in my trees they look like they were in a fire. So I added some warm burnt umber and burnt sienna.
I think I want to use green glitter and some collage elements like leaves from news print. Not sure.....Any good ideas?
I should move on to the next painting. The challenge of, "make it work" screams out to me to finish everything I start. (Thanks Tim Gunn) So I have a ton of paintings waiting while I make this sucker work.

This is an interesting tree! You know what I'd do? I wouldn't even add leaves. The circles look like bubbles to me, like little bubbles of thoughts, ideas, or maybe even dreams. I'd lightly shade each circle to look like a bubble and call it finished.
Looks great so far, I like the idea of newsprint leaves. :)
It looks like it is working to me!
Beautiful tree - wonderful and fun! I love the mauve sky and purple hills.
Great!

Thanks for all your support guys! Melisa, I started down the green path before I got your ideas BUT it's such a good one I'm going to make a bubble tree next!
