      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.

          @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.

                                    @Jana You are convincing me that doing 100 things is a good idea. You are really coming up with great designs.

                                      Thanks @drawingmelee @Ed-O and @Mara for your kind words.
                                      I can only encourage you, Mara, to try that if you play with the idea of a challenge. I have to say that not just doing the challenge, but also showing it here from the first step on, which was super important and that is what pushed me a lot. It was really helpful to get some polishing ideas from the very first beginning.

                                      Here now a baobab tree. I don't know... but I cannot take these trees seriously. They look a bit hilarious, don't they? 🙂
