With our Jubilee Wood project in mind, this week I am looking at trees, in all sorts of ways. Today I walked down to the reservoir where along the side of the main path are a magnificent stand of poplars. They are regal. It’s really the first time I have looked carefully at the fascinating rhythmic branching pattern. I made a few quick sketches of the poplar and a few other local trees.
The old oak and the branching poplar, A5 sketchbook
Sycamore and the twiggy downward arching willow, complete with camellia galls.
and, back home, a simplification of the poplar pattern.
Suddenly many Art Deco designs make sense to me!
