(Here’s a photo of me working out the rough shapes of the tree and the foreground creatures.) I think one of the great things about being in Animal Kingdom are the sounds that surround you. So different from the other parks and yet the sounds are perfect for this park.

While I was working on the early parts of the painting, my wife, daughter and son-in-law wandered over to Pandora and the Pongu Pongu drink stand there. My daughter is addicted to the Night Blossom with the Boba Balls (she even had the drink served at her Disney wedding!) They left me to sweat while they enjoyed the frozen drinks :)
