But I Wanted to Draw the Tree!

Several months ago, people walking through the park would've wondered about the artist earnestly sketching the tree branch, unaware that she was trying to draw the insect perched on the other side. But today? There was NO insect, no bird, no flower, no nothing...that artist really was a little funny!

Well, to tell you the truth, there was a gnarled tree with foliage growing out of some openings near the bottom....there was nothing stopped on its limbs; but something about its line and texture held me hostage, found me whipping out my sketching things and putting down on paper what I saw in front of me. When I got home, I told Kinya about the drawing I'd done that day, telling him probably anybody who saw me wondered why I would want to draw a silly tree (there were mallards and egrets in the pond!)
