This piece started as an abstract watercolor...some of the shapes started to resemble gnarly tree limbs, so I emphasized them with pen and marker. Finally I collaged in some circular shapes to diversify the overall design.

Wonderful creation -- I love the mixed media and your description of the process. I find abstract work is about discovering the image within the colors and movement. It's always exciting! This is a beautiful piece.
