Bush Study

6/24/18 Maple Leaf neighborhood

Walking in my ‘hood as usual, thinking about which house to sketch, I stopped at this corner – but it wasn’t the house that captured my interest; it was the bushes in front. Often when I’m sketching a house, the yard and foliage are just green foreground or background and not the focal point. In this case, however, I wanted to capture the form, texture and bushiness of these bushes.
