this is really reminding me of the movie Avatar right now.
The composition is art nouveau, but the style is much more modern illustrative. Drawing each leaf individually is an impressive feat

This picture is so beautiful. I like the details of your work.
Especially, the structure of the tree is awesome. Also I like leaves. So many leaves in one picture... great. You have patience.

I think kids today are either not allowed or have lost the trees to climb, but in the back of their minds it is still there. They like trees but can't remember why.
When they see films like Avatar it sets their imaginations on fire, I climbed trees until I was in my teens.

There aren't many trees around here that a kid could climb, unfortunately I haven't found any in the forest near my home ever since I moved here.

This is what happens and if there were any their mother wouldn't let them.

I remember that my mother sometimes climbed trees herself if we convinced her to

Oh cool! This one reminds me of a recurring dream I had as a kid. Still there's nothing better then escaping in a tree.
