This week: a majestic oak in Binsted, West SussexWhile driving through the leafy lanes of Arundel and the surrounding area, I stumbled upon this majestic tree living in an area of wonderful natural beauty in Binsted, West Sussex. It’s a mature oak, standing proud at the far side of Binsted park, a wild and overgrown haven supporting long grasses and an abundance of butterflies. I’m a tree portrait artist and my work takes me to all kinds of wonderful trees, young and old. I returned with my pens and pencils, and scrutinised its form for many summer days. I was captivated by this tree: the great Binsted oak.
