I drew this in the sketchbook using blue acrylic ink and shimmering fountain pen ink. I think it was John Ruskin who said you need a bit of glitter or it's not real art. #sketchbook #drawing #MastoArt

Bit of a cypress tree (?) I sketched yesterday #mastoart

Sat down at the to sketch the tree behind these graves I had already started but didn't get too far beyond marking the contours and some landmarks, and a bit of texture at the top and bottom. #mastoart #sketchbook

Probably an eastern white pine - this one was untagged and the needles were too high up so I am mostly going off the branching pattern for that ID. #mastoart #trees

Bit of dead elm that I was sketching before getting rained off my spot last week. Another to file under "not sure if i got far enough for this to look like anything" #mastoart #pleinair

This hedge maple is the oldest dated tree in the cemetery. It dates back to the landscaping of the original colonial mansion and was struck by lightning. #mastoart

Brief sketch of a Caucausian zelkova trunk on the one warm day we had recently. Hoping to revisit this one because there is a lot of complexity I didn't get to. #mastoart

Compiling my tree drawings I noticed that I never posted the finished scan of this Carolina Silverbell I painted back in nov. I was planning to revisit it, as mentioned in the WIP post, but by the time I got back there it had dropped the rest of its leaves, so I decided to let it be. #mastoart

I got partway through this pretty big by my standards drawing of another wild black cherry today. Wanted to revisit it another time, so I can give the canopy the attention it deserves. #MastoArt
