Globe tree

A watercolour pencil drawing of a tree that I walk past each day. The round shapes attempting to capture and hold the ever changing seasons and passage of time. Spheres can be an emotive shape - soft, round, comforting, lifegiving, nurturing. Reminiscent perhaps of a mother's breast. When I was drawing this tree, I began by feeling frustrated by the small shapes and the time it was taking me. But as I continued to draw, the repetitive hand movement became soothing.
