trees standing tall

I must do some more sketches this weekend, perhaps of the men at work in our street holding up Stop signs. Meanwhile here are two pictures - not happy with the use of a blue feltpen for the pine trees on the hill, and my usual twisted eucalyptus tree, this time in the suburb of Herne Hill. I must not rush like a bull at a gate when I draw. I grab any coloured pen instead of stopping, looking, thinking what is appropriate!
