...what an interesting tree. It looks like it could come to life and has lots of stories to tell. Wonderful sketch.
ReplyDeleteThanks again. They are truly die hards, the Blue gums. But this one was struck by lighting and just didn't survive the last veldfire.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a tree which character. Love the way it leans and the angles of the branches. Truly beautiful even if it is dying.
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing!

Thank you Cheryl. I actually love to sketch and paint trees - the themes are endless and each one with it's own character.
