The Crabapple Tree

I went back sketching the crabapple trees for 1.5 hours yesterday.  The trimmed tops look nice but the erratic branches everywhere was a challenge.  It was easy to get lost in what part I was drawing.  I try to create the illusion of a foreground and a background branch in my sketch.  There's a lot more to study and learn.  Size is about 2 x 2 inches.

      Aha! I think I may have found something good about this exercise based on your feedback. Thank you, Joan.
