Quick sketch, needs must

Posted on May 16, 2022May 16, 2022 by Alan

I noticed this Hawthorn tree in full bloom walking down Castle Hill on the Western side of Shaftesbury.
I had a few coloured pencils to hand, so stopped to have a go. A warm and sunny afternoon where you just want to take your time and look around you.
