Baobabs


After each baobab painting I complete, I make a mental note that I will not paint one again. Tons of branches, then trying to figure out which is in front of which. Lots of effort for a tree!
But, after some time has elapsed, I get an idea which must be painted. And it includes a baobab. I steel myself for lots of sticks and branches and plunge in. Even though it took me more than 2 hours just to put the wash on this board, I have to admit the effort was worth it. I can already see the heft yet fluidity in the main tree.
