This Oak tree made an amazing base to sit at, lean against, and look out through the branches. I really like looking out through a canopy, and especially if there is light behind, playing on the leaves.

It was lovely to sit there and do a quick study, absorbing all that lovely lush green around - the leaves are starting to turn so it won’t be like that for much longer this year.

I picked up some leaves that had fallen and were starting to turn and tried to capture them in a quick way with lots of paint, working swiftly so that the colours bled into each other.
