Trees at Night
charcoal, pastel, and conté
17.8 x 14.0 cm (7" x 5.5")

This was one of the few drawings I managed while travelling in the American southeast.

It was difficult at night making sense out of the the tangled mass of trees, shrubs, and vines. As a result, the drawing has an abstract quality, which, if pushed a little further, might have led to a Jackson Pollack like confusion of blacks, reds, whites, and browns.

The drawing was done outside of Charleston, South Carolina.
