Wonderful job Ishbel! The area on the bottom where there are a lot of needles crossing over each other could easily be a problem spot, but it reads really well! I think the cone could use more toning to convey its form. I love the elegance of the upright needles! Beautiful!!!
Thanks! Yes, I can see the cone could have more toning on the shadow side. At first I had identified it as a Western White pine thinking there were 5 needles a bunch but then I realized there were only 2 so there should have been way more precision at the stem end 😃

Beautiful Ishbel! I have a few needles here too that I want to try to capture, your work is inspiring!
