Also known as the suicide tree, pong-pong, or othalanga.  It is native to India and other Southern Asia parts.  The seed is rought 5-7 cm large, or should I say, small.  The seed does have a shell, but once it has fallen from the tree, it decays and leaves the fibrous tissue that I found interesting enough to paint.

I like the juxtaposition of the rough inside fibers and the smooth outer fibers.  I think that is what drew me to the seed.  The painting is done in neutrals, a color scheme I don't normally work it.  I toyed with painting the background a hue, but in the end felt that black was the most striking and would really bring the seed forward the most.
