Ce n'est qu'une copie d'un dessin de XIXe, avec moult erreurs de perspective à la clé, que je n'ai pas cherché à corriger.

Love the beautiful lines and use of simple washes.

Très beau !! J'aime aussi ces teintes chaudes - comme j'aime les tons froids de ton précédent dessin que je viens de mettre aussi dans mes favoris !

I'm flattered to be a "splendid example" !! My ego is swelling....More simply,my drawing way looks like this one because I'm old! Sad but true!

Ah!The blossoms each year....poetic: uncertain life, certain death...philosophic!
You are not as young as I believed. You are right about those artists, but remember that first, they were the photographers/reporters of their time. You must visit the Chalcography department of the Louvre: upsetting! A perpetual research to let a true iconography of this time. Not any esthetic concern - not often, at least. Earning some money, sure...

I don't understand very well what you mean when writing :"I died and came back to life"...Are you a ghost? Could you be more explicit?!!!
Not easy to explain what is the Chalcography! I don't believe that one could find such a collection in any country of Europ. At the XVIIe century, the king Louis XIV asked all the artists drawers to produce a sort of anthology of the
( French) world at the time, for every field of the life: botany, zoology,human body,medical , physic,chemistry sciences,architecture since the gallo-roman time, etc. You must remember that we have not any track of the life during the past centuries because there were no journalists, no reporters photo, no cameras,no radio, no TV, no Internet..( imagine a camera filming Roma burning up!.) Believe me: diving into this collection is really amazing( the word is not strong enough!) As I'm a recorder player, i have specially studied the plates of the music instruments:fascinating! Everyone watching the L. de Vinci's Joconde at the Louvre would have to visit the Chalco , too.
i discover to day your last work: as fresh and light as usual! You deserve to appear in a Scottish...chalcography of our time!

I like the softness of the trees in the background , they contrast nicely with your strong line work.
I cant resist this kind of picturesque subject matter.
