This cork oak tree is valiantly clinging onto a collapsing bank, it is actually tilting at quite an angle and I will add some photos to show you. The cork bark has been harvested off the main trunk but not the branches, which is why they look thicker. This tree is up a steep hill over the river to the south of Jimena. I am enjoying working with my ink pot and brushes! I love the drama and simplicity of black and white with shades of grey.
I am currently in England with my parents so WiFi is limited to my Dad’s wind up machine ๐ so please forgive me if I don’t get to answer any comments quickly. I’ll catch up with you all very soon. Wendy x
More excellence.

Never too many. Unless you’re bored of course. But then again, who knows what can happen when you push thru boredom.

It’s a great portrayl, Wendy. Was able to even more appreciate it with the pics of the actual tree. Totally understand travel challenges in communicating. Experiencing that right now. On the road with a tablet and it’s just not a laptop ! ๐

when it comes to the raw basics, i am still learning to crawl, I wish I could stop thinking that it’s got to be prefect in order to be art, I love your work, it inspires me to want to do more

Thank you, Sheldon! I have found now I am older I am less critical of myself, and this helps. Doesn’t mean I don’t know I can’t improve! I used to rip my stuff up all the time in frustration when I was younger…. ๐
