Fallen tree by Paul (Dixie) Dean

It’s come out a bit lighter on the gallery than it actually looks.

Excellent, Paul - you certainly know your trees!

Very nicely done Paul!

I like it, you are so good at trees.!

This is great sketching Paul, good shadowing.

Another stunning tree. You paint them so well.

Very attractive and competent sketching Paul. Well observed.

Thanks guys for your comments, much appreciated.

Incredible work to sort through this lot Paul! You’ve done a great job…

Thanks Alan I appreciate your comment, it was a challenge but a good exercise in less is more and looking what to leave out.

Wow - that is quite stunning, Paul!

A very good tree sketch Paul, what interesting shapes.

I see these fallen decaying trees as nature's stab at abstract sculpture. It think they are endlessly interesting. You've done a good job with this one Paul.

David Heather a Lew thank you for your comment. They are fascinating Lew , so interesting so many twists and turns, lights darks etc each one very unique like all tees , I can spend ages totally absorbed by them.

Well captured and drawn Paul

Nicely done Paul.

Chris and Denise , thank you for your comments.

Really good drawing Paul, I must get my pencils out again.

Thanks Andrew , yes do get your pencils out. I think there is something about using pencils and graphite in particular that’s very satisfying, I kind we lots of more modern drawing equipment but the humble pencil still creates a lovely line etc.

Very good drawing Paul

Christine and Cheryl thank you for your comments. It was fun despite it being a challenge as well , it’s the sort of challenge a think you would enjoy Cheryl .

Great sketching Paul.
