Tree Concept

This was a first approach to my tree design in which I wanted to make the tree look not only the main attraction but also fairly big and obvious. The tree in this design was way too small to create any sort of affect in any case.

This is the final piece which shows a much larger tree scale is almost reaching out to the other mountains. The effect I was trying to pursue is to create a foreground, mid ground, and fait background. In this the foreground is the focal point in which the tree is sprout. I was originally trying to make the massive tree look as if its hanging of the edge of a mountain but in this it looks about average size. The view in this is to make the viewer try and imagine how what the tree's purpose of being there is other than becoming part of the view of the mountainside.
