Tangles and Magic

I've been enjoying working with the interesting shapes of fern  and maple leaves. I combined both in this piece to show the tangled up foliage that you can see in the woods. I used gouache for some of the light areas in the birds and inbetween the leaves. Twigs and saplings weave through the piece.I enjoyed working with color changes from red to green. There's a little shimmer here and there. Some of the original textured wash shows as well.
