going back to nature

Just realized that I didn't post in June. So, here's one in just under the wire...

I've been getting inspiration from nature lately. For about the last month, I've sketched trees in a forest preserve on my lunch hour. Took some photos too. Then started some paintings (still in progress). It's been fun starting something new. I'm also enjoying how the three mediums are influencing each other and the way I work.
