From the Archives #004: Matsumi-ike, Tsukuba, Japan (October, 1996)

I have not posted anything with colour for some time now, so I thought back to a sketch from 1996 when I experimented with some colour ball point pens... one of the earliest colour, on-site sketches I can remember. 

This was a grove of trees gradually turning to their fall colours, seen across a pond on a university campus.

I still find the expression of trees to be a difficult thing...
