Pine on Pine

I'm trying to  find my shtick here in grad school so i decided to use some sticks.... Pine needles inlayed with resin and  powder pigment.  I like doing these  studies because for its like drawing/ landscape studies.  Its all happening by chance though, depending on how i sand off the top layer and the caving that i do in between layers. 

I am going to try to build up more layer for my future studies
