A really clean look to this one.

I like this, Mia. Totally natural, yet at the same time has an alien look.

Different from you Mia but the simplicity of the Willow and the fencing is very good,

This is the sort of willow you see frequently in between the fields for drainage, next to a creek, in Flanders and Holland. They have to be pruned annualy, otherwise the top becomes too heavy and they split. Size 25x37cm. All comments are very welcome :) Mia
