A band of tree-like forms all drawn together, side by side. The tops of the trees are stylized and abstract, almost like letter forms, but also like strange cartooned figures. The branches have been reduced to a line and placed in the centers of the trunks, and placed in the spaces between the trees, compacting the space, slowing the cadence. I’m especially fond of the bottom, where the land shape becomes another tree at the far right. The bars along the bottom make a playful road. The pebbled texture of the grey paper shows up in the pencil shading, not alluding to light and shadow, just a design element. The darkest watercolor shapes start the action on the left side, and finish it at the right.
