The Beech at Maristow


I have had a tendency to focus on the grandeur of ancient and notable oaks. However, while walking through the Maristow Estate in West Devon, I noticed the beautiful beech tree on the corner of Watery Lane. Without the summer foliage, it was possible to look up high into the structure of the tree. 


I made a few sketches in situ, then worked in my studio from photographs to make a complete study of the tree and a second study of the detail.
