Weeping Willow 1 - A Work in Progress

Today I was sitting at my kitchen table looking out across the front lawn watching Ron removing the snow from the driveway and I looked at my weeping willow tree which we planted 36 years ago to celebrate the year my daughter, Christine was born.














This tree has grown to a height of almost 50' (15.24m) and my arms will only reach a little over half way around the trunk.

Using a pencil, I lightly drew in the trunk and main branches of the tree. With it being winter they are no longer hidden by the multitude of leaves.

Once I was pleased with the drawing, I got out my watercolour paint and started putting on leaves.

Before I could get very far, Ron came in for lunch. I will post this piece later as I do more work on it.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork and I hope you will return often.
