Just a few hundred yards from my studio stands an immense Douglas Fir. It’s sweeping boughs have been the playground for generations of clambering children. I created this oil pastel over about 4 or 5 visits and really enjoyed standing on the soft aromatic carpet of pine needles, studying the heavy texture of the bark. Oil pastel lends itself well to this buildup of texture and to fulfill my aim of capturing the deep furrows of bark and subtle shifts in colour and tone. The tree leans out over the green at Cockington Country Park, anchored to the bank with its huge trunk and roots bulging beneath the surface of the ground.
