My trees and their trees

The chestnut out back, in the morning light, was having a Paul Nash moment -It reminds me of Nash's "Wood on the Downs" somehow -Another Nash painting is "Storm Trees" -Unrelated to Nash, more Henri Rousseau perhaps, I've watched the leaves fall off this tree - intrigued by the negative spiky spaces -
Here's Rousseau's "Storm with Tiger" (which is in the National Gallery, just down the road) -We had it as a jigsaw puzzle, a few years back. Jigsaw puzzles are a "different" way of looking closely at art!
