I have one tree that I have painted and drawn more than half a dozen times- it stands on the side of the lower road between Commondale and Castleton, outside Thornhill Farm, so I call it Thornhill Tree. Here are a few examples of work - already sold but I'm sure I'll be doing more!
There is so much humanity in a love of trees, so much nostalgia for our first wonder, so much power in just feeling our own insignificance when we are surrounded by nature........

TREES
Once, walking home, I passed beneath a Tree,
It filled the air like dark stone statuary,
It was so quiet and still,
Its thick green leaves a hill
Of strange and faint earth-branching melody.
