A positive disruptor. An old robinia pseudoacacia (false acacia) at Charterhouse in London

Please point me in the direction of some good news ...

I visit this fine oak once a week. I'm lucky.

To show my gratitude I sat and drew this oak for days. Mum and I once sheltered from a storm here. 900yrs old – not Mum the tree!

Dentist's waiting room. Might as well draw a tree ...

My education was an estate comp. Parents weren't film stars. Uncles & aunts weren't rock stars. My cousins aren't big in meeedja & none of my mates run galleries or auction houses. I have no connections in 'high' places ... So why on earth did I pursue a career in the arts?

Meeting place ...

An old West London Oak

Happy #FathersDay

Brilliant book I picked up from a second hand bookshop in Brecon, Powys. An almanac of delightful tree related anecdotes, facts and poetry. #trees #books
