It's just an old wrinkled tree, and it looks like it had its branches cut numerous times in the past. But there's still green sprouting out from it here and there, and the twisted limbs seem to want to dramatize the decades of happenings it's witnessed. I've seen that tree for several years now--and this year, whenever I walked past it, I heard myself saying,
"I've never seen a tree that looks so expressive. I think I want to draw it sometime. Maybe I'd title it 'The Storytelling Tree' or something like that." The other day, as I walked past, I thought I sensed the question, "When already?" So here 'tis.
But after looking at what I posted, I kept wondering if maybe I should've left it alone too, like my "Mime Mime" carp sketch.
This is what the original sketch looked like before I put in the leaves/grass/windows, etc..., I'd seen, then of course, colored it.
Nah; since I want it to look dramatic--colorful--adding the above color was okay, I think.
