Sunday Sketches - Honey Locust Tree


It's time for Sunday Sketches from England! You will notice many of these honey locust trees around here and this is what they look like in early fall when the leaves turn yellow and eventually fall to the ground. You don't have to rake these leaves much as they are small. This piece is done in my art journal in watercolour crayon and pencil (8 1/2" x 11").

I've never seen (that I can recall or knew of), a honey locust tree. Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Happy Drawing.

I don't believe I have ever seen a honey locust tree but I wish I had. I bet they are beautiful in the Fall. I enjoyed seeing your sketch of one.

I love these trees, have a whole grove of them in my front yard. You've reminded me to go out and sketch them.

Our neighbors have several huge honey locust trees. They're beautiful, but we track in the tiny leaves for weeks.

I do like the colour of this tree.
So good that you don't have to rake these leaves much as they are small.

All the best Jan

Again I learned something new from your post as I never before have seen such a tree. I looked into google and found out that it's an American tree and I like it so much to view your drawing and have some background information now. Many thanks for sharing!
