Driving home from the dentist yesterday morning, I spotted this
wildly gnarled and mutilated tree about a mile or so west of the neighborhood where I sketched on Tuesday. Like many trees, it’s
still completely bare, but I appreciated its expressive attitude.
Although I wanted the star of the sketch to be the large
tree, I couldn’t help including the small maple growing in the nearby traffic
circle. Unlike the other, this little tree is full of tight buds getting ready
for their spring debut. Any day now. . .
(Yesterday was officially the first day of outdoor urban
sketching season: It was warm enough to get out of the car to sketch this!)
Yeah for weather warm enough to sit outside to sketch!!! Both trees are so expressive!
