My models were some branches from this morning's walk. I don't know what kind of tree the predominant branch is from, but the leaves suggested in the background are from Spanish oak.
Lately, I've been using life drawing as a starting place for works that combine reality, imagination and experience.

ReplyDeletethanks Jean. Beautiful, but it does remind me of one of the casualties. Oh the mad rush of it all. Still accessing rain damages.

ReplyDeletePA, I'm thinking of you all and hoping you stay as warm and dry as possible, while you deal with what the rain has brought.
And a happy New Year!
