Wilderness House Literary Review: Tree Drawings "Beautiful"

 
We entered the room where her drawings and paintings stood against the walls. They were amazing, striking, and at the same time calming in nature. I thought how wonderful it would be to sit quietly alone taking in their presence.

An article about the exhibit also appeared in Wicked Local Plymouth, posted on February 25, 2010.

When drawing trees, Leonarda Boughton depicts more than roots, a trunk with bark, branches and leaves. Part arborist, part artist, she depicts trees as varied natural plants and sentinels of the forest, as embracing lovers and totems of human insignificance. And in her monumental “Sitting In a Beech,” Boughton evokes the primal attraction of trees as conduits to natural energy.
