Original artwork description:
This one took off in an unexpected direction. The red background was not my original intention, but I did red underpainting to give some life to what I intended to paint grey. I really liked the contrast with the green leaves, so I enhanced it instead. Using flatter colours than usual, I liked the almost abstract effect of the shapes of leaves, shadows & foliage.
