Boy! That pinecone just jumps off the page! And I love the way you do leaves! Quite the challenge to place the cone front & center and head first. But you pull it off. I think it is the rich darks that really make to work.
Also, I like the “Is it autumn or is it spring?” question the composition poses. I’m feeling that now as I see the peach trees bloom here in Jersey City.
Looking good, Sheila! I’m amazed at the amount of depth you were able to achieve with the cone in this position. It looks awesome! And of course, I love this eclectic collection. I almost forgot it was winter for a second! 🙂 (Bracing myself for SO MUCH SNOW tomorrow….)
Thanks, Vern. It was a whacky thing to put the pinecone like that, but I liked the center. Yeah, forsythia is blooming, but now we’ve got a scary amount of snow about to fall! Got our snowshoes out of the garage and ready!?!
this is gorgeous!

Thanks, Teresa. It was fun to keep adding to!
That’s true about what season it is. The forsythia is blooming and I have a mini potted pomegranate in the house.
Thanks, Katy. I started with the pinecone right smack in the center and then faced the dilemma!
Love it!
Oh Sheila. This is great!
