Tree Challenge

The challenge last week was to draw a tree. As usual, I'm behind. And, to top it off, this is a tree I did some time ago.
But, Wednesday when I drove down to Quivira to take my mind off the recent breakup, I noticed this tree is no longer standing. It has fallen and is in chunks now.

I loved the look of it and it was one of the first sketches I did in my first Moleskine. I think it's posted on the blog right after I started it at live journal, but I just can't recall. Anyway, I'm using it again because it's already scanned in.

Actually, trees are one of my favorite things to draw and I have multiple ones in my books. But, this one is scanned and so I'm wimping out.

I like the abstract quality and the way it fills the space!

Karen stole the words right out of my mouth (this happens frequently.) I, too, like the abstracted tree shape and I like the color washes, too. This is simple and graceful.
