Spring Trees From Around Town

Took a few weeks off here in early June for vacation, painting, reading, and watching art videos (I love to watch art videos--I find them incredibly calming).   The trees are fully leafed out and shaped so incredibly differently than they were just a few weeks ago.

I spent a lot of time this past spring drawing trees around the town where I live.  I find studying the intricate, leafless patterns of the branches very soothing.

When I looked at these sketches earlier today, I found the a lot more interesting than the trees I'm looking at now, wearing full new green leaves.

I suppose that means I need to get out and sketch some summer trees and see what I can see!
