cypress
We got a tiny cypress in a pot – to be planted outside later on. Meanwhile, we have a Christmas tree which is scarcely larger than an ornament.

“A Christmas tree scarcely larger than an ornament”–I love that, Elizabeth. The phrase has in it that secrecy some spaces have (as detailed so well by Gaston Bachelard in The Poetics of Space).
And the drawing is lovely. I’m always moved by the independence of the tops of trees; they are only there because of all the rest, but don’t seem to let that hold them back.
I really adore this simple sketch. Your facility with white space is inspiring.
