Coconut Palm

Coconut Palm
11×14
Watercolor on Paper
So I’ve been wanting to paint this palm since the moment I saw it while visiting Cocoa Beach.  It took me months to get around to it because it seemed so intimidating.  There was so much detail in the photo, I just didn’t know if I could take it on.  But after a week of sticking with it, here it is.  What do you guys think?  Here’s an in-progress shot of the painting at the beginning stages.
