Winter Tree-o-metrics


Twilight on a rainy winter's evening, just as it was for the last two days, but now the weather has cleared. This drawing is done from memory though I had a photograph for inspiration. It has taken me more than 30 years (of art-making time) to realize that a close-up of these winter twigs can be interpreted as a pattern of intersecting geometric (or "tree-o-metric") lines, much as I do for the Geometrika images. That means that every winter deciduous tree has the potential for a near-infinite number of linear compositions.
