Tree

A tree, sketched with colored pencil.

I often do this doodle sketch. I suppose it’s because it represents a sort of peace to me. A calm day with a blue sky. Sun in the early morning or mid to late afternoon. Sitting in, on, under, or near a tree with a book or a sketchbook. Thinking, refreshing, pondering, pontificating. No one demanding anything of me. Just me. Just the tree.
