Acer pseudovicus, A "Rosier" Rose Quartz Maple and a "Redo"

Acer pseudovicus


I wanted to make another Rose Quartz Maple that was lighter pink. I got so wrapped up in the pinkish-goodness of the tree,


 that I didn't pay much attention to the stiffness of the multiple trunks! 


Love the leaves, but not happy with the rest, so I used gouache to bend the trunks and add a few smaller branches.
