That's an interesting application of string.
I would like to see a bit of detail painted on some of the leaves. Maybe a bit of brown or yellow just to vary it a bit.

I do like shape and volume of the leaves.

I recently had a vacation where there were lots of palms and one thing I noticed was the huge variety of trunk shapes and sizes and colors. This one is very nicely shaped.

Carlos, that is a fine tree you have made, aside from Scotts comments on the leaves i have no critics for you. I also find the string wrapped trunk interesting. Thanks for sharing. cheers Kevin
