Description I wanted to present something natural in an unexpected graphic way. Kind of inspired by an art and design magazine and also by some neat wall decals of branches I recently got.

I worked bigger this time, trying to get myself out of the 9 x 12 comfort zone. I like the freedom a bigger size provides!

Thanks for your interest!

I'm actually planning to open up an Etsy shop this summer, so this will be available there. I'll be sure to let you know when it's up ♥

Wow, I ADORE this, great minimalism and style. Reminds me of Native art and modern art all put together.

Thank you! That's a huge compliment. I really wanted it to be simple and detailed at the same time, and I love the idea of combining the graphic and the organic.
