The orange works very well, but I'm unconvinced by the purple - too muddy, really. Probably the napthol red to blame for that. I want a MAGENTA!
But in the meantime, Kari and Steph were getting close: it's organic and leafy. These are more of the same, and yet different...

They are looking great. I like this last one, the dark sepia colour against the blue/grey of the paper is rather lovely.
Sycamore seeds? Chestnut hulls? Whatever they are they are lovely shapes in themselves, I feel.
Yes, figs and leaves. Theres is definately a stem or branch, and a drooping leaf or fruit with something overlapping it, causing a negative space.
This is all very good and not too far off... I was meaning to post the result from my 'tree', i.e. including the various different leaves on one sheet, but that didn't work out as planned and has to wait for a bit; no: it's not a fig tree, but one which - in theory - bears fruits, just not mine yet (and possibly wrong climate too); Kari: yes, the colour is a good one in its mutedness, but it was not what i was after - still, to remember as it does work.
