How will I show the Spirit of Endurance?

I will show the spirit of endurance in my piece by including plants that are unusual that live in environments that might not be suited for them, but they survive. I will also include interesting animals that survive in areas of the world where the environments are harsh. I will use different filters and colors to make my piece interesting. Since the assignment is suppose to be from nature, I am going to use colors that you would see such as, greens, red, browns, blues and grays. I am also going to try to somehow make everything flow into each other so that your eye looks all over the piece, but still give the idea of the “Spirit of Endurance”. I am also going to use small images and large images to make it look more appealing.
