Studio Musings...

32 years ago a friend gave me a small Hornbeam sapling for our wild garden.

I remember when it was struggling to grow and not get eaten by the rabbits.

Now, this sapling is around 30 feet high...wide and bushy. A match for any rabbit.

This sketch study is a reminder of the early days surrounded by new friends.  

Thank you Edyth...your sapling is doing well.
