I took the photo at the Belle Isle conservatory and then "painted" the picture with pigment markers (Faber Castell PITT artist brush pens). Click images to view larger. (I also photographed some of the leaves in another photo.)

This is the original for a birches piece I did today, Birches, Three Rivers, which took way too much time and I am not sure it was worth it.
