I had decided to leave this image a little more 'illustrative' with the linework intact. For some reason my mind kept fading back to 'Its the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown' and how that had a warmth and charm to it with the linework left in.
Oddly, when I started this image, the trees were much like they are here: Green with a few yellow leaves starting to poke through. As of finishing this image, there are trees that are fully yellow and red now, and some that are probably half-empty of their little leafy children. It changes quickly here.
