I Don't Talk to the Trees

 

Here's some trees and nature pictures for you. Mostly done from life.

This first one is a sketch from 2002. I always thought it would look good on a greetings card.


It's Swamp Thing!!
This tree is one of several really old protected trees in Burnham Beeches, a woodland area near where I grew up. Being just up the road from Pinewood Studios here in the UK, it's famous for being the forest location in several films including the awful Kevin Costner 'Robin Hood Prince of Thieves'. This painting was done in acrylics in a small A5 sketchbook. I love how it's bending back as if reaching up to the heavens. I don't know if this or the other old trees are still there having not been to the Beeches for years. I hope so as they were around three hundred years old when I drew them... thirty years ago. 


Is this not like the petrified bones of some ancient giant alien dragon, or what?!


Another one reaching up to the heavens... Could it be that I had unwittingly stumbled upon the Parliament of Trees?
