Day 5 Ocean Grove Nature Res- Gums & Wattle red size

 

 

Day 5 ‘Ocean Grove Nature Reserve – Gums and Wattles’ What a peaceful spot to paint with birds chirping and a lovely mild temperature. A challenging subject however, as these gum trees were large with a lot of peeling and fallen strips of bark. I could have gone to town with detail but this was a exercise in restraint. I think I’ve managed to capture the nature of these trees within the constraints of time.
