Rocks and Snow

Permanent Marker and Whiteout
3"x4.25"
On a cold crisp October day,
The bright sun shone on an old apple tree,
In a rocky cow field.
A steep hill of white,
Wraps around the stand of trees.
Puffy white clouds dance,
Swiftly across a deep blue sky.
This is a nice little drawing but I do not like the clouds and I think a blank sky with a downward fade would work well in print form. It will be a challenge to draw the barren trees in a monotype, but I look forward to the challenge.

Do you ever look at Cezanne's trees? I don't think I ever really saw a tree until I saw -- or really looked at -- Cezanne's paintings of trees.
I like the verse.
I never realized how a tree relates to its surroundings, until I really looked at and understood what Cezanne was doing!
Thanks.
