It Starts With A Tree

                                          

Danny Gregory's book, Creative License is teaching me to 

look around.  While getting into my car I saw this pine tree.

Normally I would get in and drive off but I sat a while and 

as I sat,  begin to see more and more details in the trunk.

A quick sketch and I almost stopped

without noticing at first the three background trees, 

and the hill, the flags, the greenery.  I could sketch this again 

and again adding color details, selecting different parts, abstracting 

the tree, endless possibilities, widening vision, taking time to see.

Wishing you a lovely Sunday.
