When I want to relax I often choose working with ink. It is fun to just take a crow quill pen and some ink and doodle across a page and splash some ink here and there.
Inspiration for me often comes from nature. What inspired this drawing was seeing dried weeds growing above the snow. They lend a certain beauty to the white landscape. In spite of winter's winds many of them still have seed pods and bits of leaves clinging to their stems.
I have a great respect for that kind of tenacity.
It is marvelous to see how nature reminds us that even when life seems overwhelming if we hold tight to the Vine we will remain strong and bear fruit.
Hope all of you are holding on tight tonight. God Bless!
