The hawthorn holds a special place at the hedgerow's edge, known in folklore as the fairy tree, said to mark the threshold between the material world and the Otherworld. Its berries, leaves and blossom are prized as a tonic for the heart, taken to ease the nerves.

A loose watercolour study of hawthorn berries and leaves, painted in honour of this quietly powerful little tree.
