Woah, this is really late (way back from May)! The Oakland Marriott asked us two create two pieces for them with images of Oakland. We immediately fell in love with the juniper trees around Lake Merritt in Oakland as soon as we saw them and had to draw one. It was so incredibly fun to draw that bark!Done for Oakland Marriott in Oakland, CA.

This has some really good flow action going on. it looks like. the main focus is the blues and greens in the foreground which flows out towards the city that is seen in the background. It looks wonderful~
