A ballpoint pen drawing of a hickory tree, a strip of its bark peeled toward the viewer. The bark is rough and shaggy, but where it has peeled away is a much smoother surface
Three ballpoint pen sketches. In the top left corner, the base of a burr oak. In the top right corner, a stump with puffball mushrooms and another, flatter mushroom on the exposed core, and various types of moss growing on the bark. Across the bottom, a rough sketch of a log with shelf mushrooms.
Being outside so much this last week has called me back to art. The trees are my inspiration, strong forms made over long time periods. Here are a couple of tree drawings i've made in the last week
