Moseley Bog Weeper — Original Ink Drawing on Hand-Cast Cement Tiles — Moseley Bog, Birmingham — Warren Drawing Trees

An original ink drawing of a weeping tree from Moseley Bog, Birmingham, drawn across hand-cast cement tiles by Birmingham artist Warren Garland (Warren Drawing Trees).
Moseley Bog is an ancient woodland and wetland nature reserve in Birmingham — and one of the places that shaped J.R.R. Tolkien’s imagination. He played here as a child, and the gnarled, atmospheric trees of the bog are widely believed to have influenced his vision of the Old Forest and the tree-creatures of Middle-earth. This weeping tree was drawn on location there, its form organic and slightly otherworldly — roots exposed, branches trailing, the whole thing leaning with a quiet, ancient weight.
The delicate ink drawing flows seamlessly across the hand-cast cement tiles, blending nature’s elegance with raw, industrial texture. Each tile is individually crafted — the natural variation in tone and surface marks part of the work itself, giving the piece a sense of age and material presence that complements the organic subject.
One-of-a-kind original — not a print or reproduction.
