Can't See the Forest for the Trees

I have been revisiting some of my favorite quilts. This is a one. First, it's abstract and second, it's about one of my very favorite subjects, trees. Originally inspired by the trees of Oregon for which they are plentiful, it came to life with a challenge that originated at the Allison Inn. Drafted in Photoshop with a single image of a beloved tree, the composition was then abstracted. Look closely and see the five identical trees, increasing in size. Shades of green provide changing contrast. The asymmetrical framing gives it root, pun intended.. Looking at the closeup, provides a snippet of the shapes produced with the overlapping branches. Enjoy! Leave a comment if you like.
