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

            Many thanks for your kind feedback. 🙂
            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.

                Another winter tree for Rich. 🙂
                But I could not resist to make another blooming one. 😉
                Here is numer 23 and 24.

                  @Jana I didn't know you were using GIMP to make these. Does that allow you to add some texture to these, too? I really like the look on all of these. And making a baobab trees would be KILLER ; )

                    @Ed-O In principle, Gimp works like photoshop. Ofcourse not to each detail. But they tried to implement most functions which also photoshop has. So you have also the option to work in layers and to multiply, overlay, subtract them or whatever you want. This way I am adding the texture by working with a paper texture layer.
                    I am already looking forward to an African series. 🙂

                        @Rich-Green Thank you so much for your kind words, Rich! I really appreciate how you motivate me and help me pushing all the way through this challenge. 🙂
                        I am so happy that you like the winter trees. 🙂
                        Today, on my daily walk in the neighbourhood I saw some nice rowans. I guess I will try some of these next.

                            Thank you, @drawingmelee . 🙂 The winter trees are really the biggest challenge. It is really hard to get new ideas about them.
                            Today again a summer version, this time a rowan.

                                      You guys motivated me to try also some tropical trees. I started with an Indian bean tree, which is a "Tromeptenbaum" in German, what means trumpet tree when translated literally. I start noticing that this challenge bears a second challenge in it, which is learning all the new English words for the different trees. 🙂 It is fun though.
