Painting 3: "Woman on the Ladder" (Woman Rigging Trapeze)

Originally, the composition involved the top of the circus bus, 

and the edge of the trees against the sky.


But after having other's ask me what it was, I decided to take it out of the composition completely and have the figure suspended high in the trees. 

I tried to deal with the mass of trees in a way that was more abstract than representational, focusing on patterns and overall shapes.



This is the final piece on the wall at critique:
