An abstracted horizon study of evergreens, taken up in British Columbia. The textures here look almost marbleized! For the trees, I built layers of closeups of evergreens, resulting in a traditional look. For the sky, though, I thought the red could evoke either sunset or forest fires, which can sweep through so quickly.
