Pinecone Portrait

This past week Katie and I travelled down the Parkway towards Craggy Gardens. Though the road was closed we walked for a bit and had a lovely time none the less. On our hike I found a small pinecone on a branch. What follows is a process of the painting through completion.

 Layer on subtle layer. It's almost like you're looking over my shoulder, no?
