Finally, I’ve actually used up a sketchbook! Typically I give up and go on to the newest sketchbook because of my adhd (Artist Delusional Head Dreams 🙃).  Happy to share this “old tree” I saw on a recent local drive-about during an artist studio tour. 

Older trees (like us humans) have SO much character.  They resonate in my soul, so a sketch is a way to honor the seasons they’ve endured, the bitter freezes that didn’t fell them, and the hot dry summers that didn’t do them in.
