This is the pencil sketch used for a watercolor of this tree. There is also the ink sketch from a little different angle- further to the south that was posted yesterday. They were both done the same day. On the day I took the photo of this drawing (1/5/15) I was by there again. The temperature was about 10 degrees. There were again 2 red bellied woodpeckers hanging out on the top of this stump about 30' in the air. They nested there in the spring while the upper part of the tree was still intact. It has been an interesting tree to watch- always something going on there. It is harder to locate this tree while walking around the lake, with the top knocked out. I will post the painting of this tree tomorrow.
