Pinecone

The bright orange color is what drew me to this cone. Mainly, I suppose, in a Minnesota winter, there are fewer and fewer things outside that have any color at all. I think I got close to the orange in the cone, and the shape overall is good, but there were so many shifts in value on each scale (seed) that one might just have come very close to taking the paint brush and scribbling over the whole thing like a four year old. But one didn't. : )
