Winter's Edge

 

Inspiration came from an off ramp of the Garden State Parkway where the day's light drizzle made a thick mist rise from the snow. 

Started this one with a fixed palette and some small plotting as to where to put the trees.  Having a fixed palette helps me focus more on the use of the colors rather than picking them later on. Although, the initial plan had green in it, I felt it was finished without it.

Intricate overlapping circles, as seen in the opening of Stargate SG-1 brought me to this design.

Rappongi

After my girls played enough Dance Dance Revolution the song "Rappongi Evolved" became somethign we talked about the house. I did a little research (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roppongi) and discovered one of the origins of the place means "Six Trees"
