| Graphite Drawing 140lb Hot Press Arches Watercolor Paper Copyright LC Miller, 2011 Here is one of my favorite trees on The Greensprings Trail, an outstanding Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail that I walk as often as I can. I am beginning a study of trees for I have been commissioned to paint a landscape from the Colonial Parkway and its trees. And the best way for me to get to know my subject matter is to sit and look, sit and draw, sit and look and sit and draw! I just wish there were no tick or chiggers. Those guys (can't be the girls) just love me.  Happy Sketching, Linda Linda C. Miller Williamsburg, Virginia Artist, Naturalist and Instructor Botanical Artist in Residence, The Elizabethan Gardens |

ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Linda...
ReplyDeleteA real beauty, Linda. Can't think of a better way to get to know trees or any subject. Ticks and chiggers plague me, too. I'm getting so I prefer chiggers as I can stop the itching fairly guick by swabbing the bite with a cotton ball sprayed with Clorox Clean-up cleaner with bleach. Tick bites itch me for months and then there's always the worry of Lyme Disease......Fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteA lovely glimpse of a remarkable tree! Trees and leaves are of one of my favorite things to sketch and paint. Looking forward to seeing your final landscape!
ReplyDeleteWonderful subject - beautiful drawing! You've captured the textures and solid masses so effortlessly.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone.....I think I will be doing more tree this year. This was so much fun! Linda
