Some trees have a presence that can be felt as a person. Their trunk has a weight and the canopy is a gift. Sitting beneath them, imparts peace and quietude to be received.
This drawing was made with fountain pen ink and a bamboo dip nib on rice paper. The strokes are fast and bold, as the ink decides where and when to pool, how long to write dry. With this piece, the balance of simplicity and desire to continue to work the composition were opposing forces. Can you feel the nature of this tree?
