I drew this piece over two days in August 2019 sitting under a poplar tree (I think) in the millennium arboretum in St. Anne's park. This beautiful arboretum was developed by the Parks Department along with the Tree Council of Ireland in 1988 to celebrate Dublin's Millennium. It covers 16 acres and it is planted with over 1000 types of tree. I'm not sure why I chose this particular tree to draw under on that day but I've become very fond of it since. When I walk in the arboretum now I will often visit it and nod a hello to it as I pass by.
