Sketch of the Day: Spring Tops

Here's a quick little study. I've often thought of doing some paintings of tree tops. They're some of the most visually interesting sights in my landscape. There's a lot of movement, and the sweeping curves of this particular tree will probably return again in another study. Sitting under it, there's a lovely fan-shape to the branches. I wanted to try sketching without drawing in ink first. Compare it with the last SotD. What do you think?
