The Paddy

This was an enjoyable piece to do.
A paddy field in early autumn.  I didn't do any measurement or size or scale, just measured by eye. Didn't try to copy exactly either.

Dragon Tree 

The famous "Dragon Pine Tree" of Kesennuma, Japan. This tree was found in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011.
It resembled a dragon, and was cut more to reinforce the shape of a dragon. It now a symbol of reconstruction and rejuvenation.
I'll get this framed, sold and give all the money to the Kesennuma charity at an charity event my wife is holding.  28cm x 21cm on toned pastel paper.  Holbein and Sennelier pastels.  Own photo ref.
