Almacigo Trees, Jamaica

Botanical and landscape sketch of three almacigo trees in the Jamaican jungle. Positioned in the foreground, the trunks of these trees constitute the focus of the drawing. Their lower boughs and branches are largely cut out of view along the upper margin. Beyond, a wooded hillside is visible. Above, a mostly storm sky is punctuated with a patch of blue.
