Honestly I've never been a landscape person. So I spent a while at the window sketching branches.
I asked myself "what makes a tree real to me?" What makes it alive? What's consistent and random about the shape of the branches? There's so much to be said about using live references. What used to feel like a collection of lines became a more intricate pattern, twisting and turning every which way.
Normally before starting something new, I take some time to thumbnail or draft a composition. A lot of the time the beginnings get covered up to become the actual work, but this go-round my initial plans were very different from the final version.
The original composition included the woodsman's own axe buried in his back (credit: my husband), the work of the fiesty tree spirit. A cool idea, but a.)The more violence a piece has in it, the less the size of the audience it will appeal to. And b.) In blocking out the composition, I thought it didn't create a dynamic enough connection between the characters. The ensnaring vine idea came about 50% of the way thru working, and I think it creates some nice focal lines, while not destroying the message that she's in charge.
