Larch! Another favourite of mine. I like the way it puts a golden carpet down in the woods for us to walk on in the Autumn, and then around Easter produces such a good green with it's new needles to show that all is well in the world and spring is really here.
I've drawn Larch quite a lot over the years - I know I have a black and white sketch of a twig with cones on in an old sketchbook and a coloured version with the amazing flowers too. Below are some more recent pictures - the first two done specifically for the #WoodlandAlphabet.
A larch cone featured on one of my Christmas Card designs, and this little one was a one off, hand painted and hand lettered.
The below was done at Easter - I tried to draw as many twigs as I could - each about 6" long, with buds and then coming into leaf. It's all gone crazy green now so there are some I'll have to catch up with next year.
