If I didn't think it so 'homespun', I'd join Prince Charles and become a 'tree-hugger'.
However, I shall content myself with painting and drawing woodland. I've done it since I was quite young (above is from 1974, at my parents home in the beautiful Sussex village of West Chiltington); and I think I'll continue until I die.
And so you should I thought this one was just terrific..thanks for sharing Cro.
ReplyDeleteI just love the smell of woodland - that rotting leaf, earthy odour. Can't resist a pathway through the woods, even at the risk of meeting the big, bad wolf.
ReplyDeleteI've never been called that before!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture...your trees look like ladies with their arms outstretched. We don't spend nearly as much time as we should close to the trees.
ReplyDeleteI see a few faces among these wise old oaks. Wonderful drawing.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!! Cro... I love to walk in the woods too. LadyCat and I have recently moved and there is a wooded area with trails in it close to our new home.. wwe love going there and walking. Have a great weekend, my friend! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your woodland drawing Cro. The trees and hedges are just starting to green over and its lovely. I love this time of the year!
ReplyDeleteYou and my manly man would get along so well.
ReplyDeleteHe joined the mycological society when we moved here years ago, our daughters called him a geek until he told them he signed up the whole family, so they were members too! They were abhored!
Your woods are lovely and your mushrooms are beautiful!
I live amongst trees too and love them all. There are dangers though. We had an ice storm a few years ago and I went outside under a porch to let my dog out. We had no electricity from the storm and in the dark I heard huge loud thuds. In the morning I saw that three huge trees had fallen. I was glad they weren't aimed at my house!!
ReplyDeleteOther than that, I love the trees too!! Would love to see your art work of them.
