Every spare minute when I'm out and about I've been looking at trees. And drawing trees. Here are some.

Your trees are just beautiful. I'd go so far as to say exuberant.
Exuberant. Gosh, thanks. The beech trees are what get me really excited.
Hey! These are great trees! I love them...I also have quite a draw to trees...
You are really inspiring me here! Thanks so much!
Have a Lovely Weekend!
Tried to comment last night during a howling gale. The wind was roaring through the trees at the top of the haggard, the rain was thundering on the barn roofs and lashing against the windows, and I called up your blog with these trees. For some reason the skin crawled on the back of my neck. I thought about it and knew it was a reaction to both the weather and your drawings. I'm not sure what it is I'm saying but I was certainly moved. Now let's see if I can publish this comment tonight!
Thanks for the great feedback Kim and Dad. There's more trees to come.
