One of the things I'm doing as I prepare to paint a larger landscape is to draw trees...and by doing so, I'm learning about the individual characteristics of different trees. What has impressed me is that each one is uniquely itself and it seems as if each has its own individual story to tell. This one inhabits the edge of a stream. It has lower branches hanging just over the water's surface with curling, rolling roots that plunge beneath the water and a variety of branches that have sprung up rather low on its trunk. Such an interesting profile!
This drawing comes matted in white to fit a 14x18" frame
