            Study page. I bought a hot cocoa rose bush. I’m working on it now. Petal was first.

                Pam, thanks. It is really fun to study this tree and watch the stages. Nuts are growing slowly, but surely! I just saw deep pink chestnut flowers uphere in Ithaca, Ny, where I’m visiting.

                    Open to all suggestions. One thing I’m wondering about are the leaves. Too flat, too similar in color? Darker?

                        Thanks, Carol. This spring has been lush! This picture started with the branch on the far right. In the fridge, it burst open!!

                            I really like this Sheila! I love how the elements are connected. Great composition! I particularly like that bursting bud, the essence of Spring!

                            Running out of space for the nuts in its stages and fall leaves. Maybe page 2?
