What an interesting looking tree Paul and well drawn.

Thank you for all the comments, I appreciate each one.

Great tree Paul, it reminds me of a one eyed reindeer.

Love it Paul!

Just great Paul.

That tree has a face! They often do if you study them. Good study Paul.

Beautiful, old tree Paul, well done.

Lynn , Sarah, Lew and Marjorie thank you for your comments . I love sketching trees , all those twists and turns and the marvellous shapes the grow into. I agree Marjorie mod trees have a face in them somewhere and quite spooky sometimes especially when it’s misty , had a few scary moments when working alone in the woods .

Carole I was writing and posting at the same moment as you , didn’t intentionally miss you off, thank your I appreciate your comment .

What character in your tree Paul, it looks alive. Great sketch.

Thank you Claire , Fiona , Chris and Russell I appreciate your comments.

Beautifully drawn, Paul - such a characterful tree ( would be quite scary in the dusk!)

Great sketch Paul, wonderful old tree

A lovely sketch Paul.

Really forceful drawing, Paul

Many thank to you all for the kind comments. I really surprised with the response, I didn’t expect such lovely comments nor the amount of comments, my wife often tells me I should go back to sketching more often.

A super sketch Paul.

Great portrait of a tree
