W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm – no sketching before-hand
- As the rest of the environment is brought to its knees
They have no choice but to fall back
To the sturdy trees
.
Run deer run! Fly, Fly, little birds and bees!
Back to the forest!
To the safety of the trees!
.
Wait?
What is that sound?
Have all the trees been cut down?
.
Oh, mankind if you kill
Everything else
Even Yourselves
.
Just please leave
Nature, nature
Poor lonely nature
It’s precious, precious trees!

From my portfolio of Landscapes 3 – Trees
I am a watercolorist living on my little piece of African soil in Tarlton, Gauteng, South Africa. The inspiration for my art is the wonderfully rich variety of Fauna and Flora to be found throughout this beautiful country.

Thanks a lot Jim, I really enjoy doing tree trunks – the leaves are a bit of a different scenario, always struggle with that a bit!

I love the natural simplicity and rustic charm of this. It just reminds me of being seated under such trees in a rural area. Love the message being sent too!
