July 2007 Painting Project: Abstracting Nature

Creating a painting abstracted or simplified from something in nature.

From Marion Boddy-Evans, About.com

The challenge of this month's painting project is to take a scene or item from nature and to simplify the detail. This could be the dominant colors or shapes, reflection or patterns, whatever is the essence of the scene.
