While on vacation in Florida I decided to try my hand at drawing palm trees. This tree is near my parents' home. I liked the fact that the dead branches had been trimmed and was curious why the brown sheaths were left in as well as the palm nuts. The squirrels love to eat the nuts and tend to make a mess of them. This tree is taller that drawn. I wanted to show the details at the top and was unable to show the height (about 25 feet). Drawn in my Stillman and Brin Sketchbook (7x7), with my Lami Safari extra fine point pen in Noodlers Lexington Gray ink, and my current watercolor pallet.
