        Thank you Lisa! πŸ™‚
        Sharing them here is boosting the whole challenge a lot. I don't know if I would be so motivated without all the kind comments here. πŸ™‚

          Hi guys! Here is my tree number 15. I tried another more detailed trimmed boxtree.
          Unfortunately, these trees don't change their color nicely in autumn, so no fall version this time. πŸ˜‰

              Tree number 17 is again an autumn version, late autumn this time.
              I plan to intergrate some of these last trees into my Earle adaptation, to test how these guys work in a complete picture.

                  Luckily, also limes are trimmed into nice shapes in parks, so finally I could do my fall colored park tree!
                  Here is tree number 18.

                    With number 19 I tried a young birch for a more spring feeling in this damned cold winter which is going on here right now. πŸ™‚

                      @Ed-O Thank you, Ed! I am trying to keep up till I fulfill the 100. πŸ™‚
                      So far it has been really fun and I hope I don’t run out of ideas.

                          With tree number 21 I tried a hazelnut tree, more summer this time.

                            @Jana Can we put in requests for a few more winter versions of trees? I know you are tired of winter in the real world but I think your trees in winter are so beautiful and would love to see a few more! πŸ™‚

                              @Rich-Green When I look at my tree collection, I had already the feeling that there is some more blue missing. πŸ™‚
                              Honestly, I was out of ideas to make the next winter tree different from that which I got already. But now that you pushed me, I guess I will take the challenge and try some more. πŸ™‚ Hopefully, I can show you something soon.

                                @Jana I really like all of the trees you've been doing. I'm not a Botanist, but have you ever thought about doing more tropical or jungle trees? I'd love to see you do some of those with vines and other tropical flowers on them, too : )

                                  @Ed-O Hi Ed! Yes, I thought about exotic trees already. Actually, I want to do these awesome baobab trees soon. We call them Affenbrotbaum, which means monkey bread tree. But I focused first to those types of trees which I would need for some fairytale illustrations.
                                  But you are totally right, some jungle trees would be fun as well! Anyway I have 79 trees to go, so lots of options are left. πŸ™‚
                                  Thanks for the ideas and for following my challenge!

                                      These are gorgeous! You're doing awesome with this challenge. Are you doing these in Photoshop, or Illustrator, or another program?

                                          I am using GIMP, a free photoshop-like software. The vector-like look comes from using the path tool for building the shapes.

                                            As Rich suggested, I tried another winter tree for number 22. I am a little overwhelmed by the round shapes. I am missing some straight lines. What do you think?
                                            It is supposed to be a kind of creeping pine.
