Nicely done. I love to draw trees and have done so all my life. I like the feeling of movement you've given this :)

I love trees and also love drawing them...I like the gracefulness of its limbs and branches in the apparent fullness of summer.

I agree with PJ - it does have a nice sense of movement - and the subtle colouring makes it a very calming image. On my desktop today :)

You have not only given the tree energy and life but also personality.
There is a conversation going on. Playful austerity mixed with a comforting authority all spoken through line and shading; subject and preserver conveying intent through the most judicious of movements.

Very nice, Simon! I love this tree. Simple and beautiful. I can imagine you sitting there looking at the tree and drawing it.

Hi Si
Rarely have I heard of the term playful austerity. I'd say that maybe a bit of a contradiction, unlike this which is a cheeky, simple, yet accurate sketch , .

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.

I find that's your best pen drawing, i think it should have a better index: keep on drawing.
