On a recent journey to my Heartlands class, the drive was beautiful. The trees and hedgerows are greening up with buds and baby leaves and Marion has planted some beautiful pansies and primroses to greet you at the entrance of Heartlands. On my regular journey there, one tree in particular has been taking my attention. I've been wanting to stop and take a photo of it for months but the road is narrow and it's on a bend. Every single time I pass this tree I think to myself, 'if I were to paint it exactly the way it looks......it'd be wrong'. It's almost a prefect triangle and it's the tree's natural shape. Today I was well prepared, I had my camera at the ready and I managed to get a good shot without being a danger to other motorists. Can you see what I mean? Can you imagine it in an oil painting, stood on it's own?
