I can see why you'd want to paint this. Superb contrast between the ragged worn trees and the background. Top work Martin.

Fabulous trees, a lovely painting.

Super painting Martin. I love the wonky trees.

Lovely interesting composition Martin - re textures, you’re a whizz with that pen!

Simply splendid Martin a great composition.

Beautiful work Martin - love the composition.

The texture of the trees is so well done 👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks Lewis. I have a natural empathy for ragged worn trees They’re like plant versions of me. Ha

Thanks Valerie and Tessa

Thanks Marjorie. I love using Dude the Fude. I bought him last year. One of my best buys ever

Thanks Chris and Sarah. I didn’t know whether to crop the left quarter of the painting to make it square but decided to leave as it was

That is so good, Martin.Just love the detail of those trees!

Thanks John. It was fun doing the texture on the trees. The pen suits this kind of thing

Thanks David. I could let rip with the mark making on the trees

Really good Martin.

Fabulous trees Martin, full of age and character……love your pen work. I’ve been working on an old tree today, think I’ll just throw it in the bin now I’ve seen yours! 😂

Superb trees Martin , beautifully painted.

It's great Martin and what wonderful contrasts.

Thanks Dixie Heather David and Michael. I do feel at one with the pen. Your comments much appreciated
