After the hurricane

A soft graphite pencil, dilute ink and coloured pencil and chalk sketch of a tractor caught by a falling tree during the October hurricane of 1987 in the UK. Drawn from my own photograph taken on the day after.  On A4 paper. The perspective together with the natural lines in the tree accentuate the enormous weight and stress involved in the scene as if the hurricane’s energy is still flowing from right to left through the picture.
