A Beech (my favorite tree)
Not sure about this one, but I liked the drooping branches.
Perhaps a Maple
I've been reading Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting, which was written in 1929, and is quite a gem. Lots of practical advice. What a good idea to practice drawing trees in winter when the structure is visible!
My next task is to learn to identify trees when bare of leaves. More on that later.
Drawing is a great exercise, as well as fun. Really like your trees. I too love Beech trees. I grew up in Maryland, just outside Washington DC and there are many Beech there. I love how they keep their leaves in the winter, staying brown and crisp all winter.
