Cottonwood from the South

7x5 inches

  I see this cottonwood everyday from my south facing window and I've sketched and painted it several times from the house..  Today it was sunny again and I sketched it from the other side, looking towards the house.  I think this tree is due for an oil painting before it buds out.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate.  There are still patches of snow in the woods, but it was quite comfortable outside this afternoon.
