Old beech

Comments

A lovely old tree , I might be tempted to add some green leaves along the branches, as there is always some leaves that refuse to die at the same time as all the others.🤔 well done Paul

Lovely tree painting!!

Looks like a beech with interesting history, like it

Great structure in your tree Paul! Well done to include the autumnal coloured growth.. adds a new dimension..

Good one Paul, been interesting to watch it’s progress.

I really like this Paul, the autumnal colours are lovely.

A great looking tree, I can see why you'd want to paint it. Good job.

Thank you all so much for you very kind comments. I have sat on this for a week( not the tree) unsure if I should post it or not, due to the leaves on the front, but it seems to be much better than I thought.

Like yourself Paul, I love trees.....never happier than when I’m kicking the leaves up in autumn walking through the woods. Your beech has the magnificence that these old fellas are in their surroundings. Great shapes and autumnal colours.

Many thanks Mark and Fiona for you kind comments.

A4 watercolour, of a old beach tree, I have set it in autumn, however the odd looking leaves at the front of the tree is in fact some new growth that had been damaged and I’d now dead. I originally thought to exclude this branch but decided as it was a part of the tree to include it.
