Palm Brachea

Inspired by an extraordinary fallen branch that the librarian dragged to my classroom, it became the challenge I asked the kids to warm with, early in the day. Then I tried to paint it looking at both the negative and positive spaces. It was definitely an eye exercise!!! The small painting was gifted back to the librarian by evening.
