Tree after Rackham

[Scamall]

The Golden Age ink artists are, no surprise, my inspirations. Rackham really speaks to me as does Booth. They have very different approaches but commonality in their mastery. I have been doing a concentrated study of ink work recently and will be out of touch for a bit (new knee from Santa). I do want to thank the community for such amazing and welcoming support this year, happy holidays to all!

Gnarly yet proud and elegant too.
Best of luck with your surgery!

I love this tree!! You have captured all the gnarly texture of the bark. The small twisty branches are wonderful.

Terrific work, Scamall! I hope you mend quickly from Santa's gift. Have wonderful holidays!

Absolutely outstanding technique! Even though it is very detailed, there are no wasted strokes, and all contribute to the whole.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!
