i struggled with the texture of my tree trunk and thought of doing another trunk. but the other trunk in my head is rather gruesome. you nailed this one. aces!
Lots of details to see here. I dabbled a bit in watercolours many years ago and I plan on revisiting once I retire along with piano playing, mosaic making and vegetable gardening!
Thank you all for recognising what I think looks like a creature from Dr Who as the intended tree!
