During my time in the US, my focus was always on trees, as they were the main subject of most of my activities.
Following my attempts to find a perfect subject for my classes I went "tree-hunting" around the school premisses (as I told here) and around the island. One subject that stood out was an old weeping willow, by the entrance of the Madeline Island Golf Club. I went there with Jane Blundell to sketch it, but due to the rain, we sketched from inside the car.
The sketch I did there share some similarities with another one I did later in Seattle. I believe this is due to the focus on the branch system.
In both drawings I used graphite and white pastel Cretacolor pencils and erasers.

An old tree in the Seattle Arboretum, particularly the branch that extends straight out from the trunk caught my attention - it seemed oddly unnatural. |
