Title should be FOOTBRIDGE - blame a dark environment and poor eyesight.

Very well structured tree Robert and that patch of white makes the whole image breath.

It must be something in it for sure if you’ve noticed you keep coming back to it 😉👍

A very pleasing composition with convincing foliage and tree structure...

I do like the colour combination here Robert, and your free style of drawing.

Good positive drawing that flows nicely around the page! If that makes any sense! Movement is the word…

Nice colour choices here Robert, and I’m always a fan of winter trees done well

I admire the ability to draw in a loose fashion, chiefly because I struggle with it myself. It's exactly right for this scene where nature is clearly trying to take over.

Nice footbridge with the trees and branches showing their line in style and fortitude! Nice colour combinations too Robert, as it gives the scene lustre!

That’s funny I read “footbridge”! I like it a lot!

I like the strength in the mark making, and the flow of the different lines.

Hard pastel and conté crayon on Ingres off-white pastel paper, 12" x 9". I put this on the Forum, and thought on reflection it belongs here; it's actually a drawing, in origin, I did from a site in Sussex; and I've drawn it in ink, I've painted it in oil, twice - not at all sure why I'm drawn to it, since I rarely draw/paint the same thing very often.
