Above, the near-extinct lawa-an tree in Mabucal and below, Pihak Suba. Both ballpoint drawings in pocket Moleskine notebook.
I grew up in an island with beautiful shores and rain forests. The government denuded the rain forest for lumber and polluted the shores with unregulated, corrupt industries ran by cronies of the dictator whose wife had more than 5,000 pairs of shoes. It's been over twenty years and my childhood country is still recovering.

These landscapes are great…so many details…wonderful!
Impressive Moleskines. Beautiful pen drawings; great eye for trees. You have also put my tree story to shame.

Wow! Your drawings are stunning! Very inspirational, Ces!
Wow! Thank you. I am blushing but smiling. Thank you.
Thank you Linda. I have a somewhat of a preoccupation with trees :-)
Thank you Zari.
Josh, you are absolutely wrong. I studied your illustration intently the other night. I wanted to know how you did the white highlights on the green background. I found your tree rather sensuous. It is very curvy and I love your story.
SL, Thank you so much. You are delightful!!!
Pati@ thank you so much.
Thanks for the insight into my piece. I never really thought of it that way but I can see it too.
The drawing is conte and pastel on green paper; the white is white conte crayon.
