Grove Along the Water

A monochrome forest scene unfolds through a dense stand of pale, twisting trunks, their dark contours and textured roots guiding the eye toward a narrow stream or flooded path. The close foreground tree anchors the right side while repeating vertical forms create depth into the distant grove. Fine, expressive linework and crosshatched shadows give the drawing an atmospheric, hand-rendered character, balancing stillness with the organic movement of branches and reflected water.
