WOW! This is so incredible! The detail is stunning - I can't imagine how long it would take to not only draw those branches, but their shadows as well! I love the texture on the trunk and the simple background. It's really a gorgeous image.

(Also, I'm jealous of your job! How wonderful that your work is in such a public place :) )

Thank you! It's not as detailed as you think, it's more the use of (hard)shadows that makes it look eleborate...
