A big leaf of faith

Soooo I've gone back to my old art school for a few months. The opportunity makes sure I commit at least 3 hours a week to painting, and i can immerse myself in all the wonderful work other students are creating. I really need to work out a new balance between work and painting, but at the moment, I can only commit to these 3 hours! This is a big canvas I'm working on, from a photo I took of the 'tomb raider' tree in Angkor, Cambodia. What an amazing place that is, an ancient civilisation being swallowed up by the forest. My progress has been slow with doing such a detailed under painting!
