I was tired of looking at my typical exaggerated "S" shaped elm trees. I saw this painting while scrolling through Pinterest and it inspired me to do this with my trees. It still needs a lot of development but I'm happy with the outcome.

Wow! Love it.
I could see this looking good in a crescent type pot at some point.

I like the original plan. I think i would go further and remove the bark between the two trunk bases and bind the trunks together like an approach graft. Then you would have a funky twintrunk design just like in your painting!
