He Maketh the Clouds His Chariot is a 1910 by Ernest Haskell, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a wild, tangled tree with gnarled branches reaching in all directions. The bark looks rough, and the roots twist across the ground like dark lines. The sky is barely there—just a few faint marks above the branches. The artist focused on the tree’s raw, uneven shapes, almost like it’s alive and moving. The lines are scratchy and uneven, giving it a rough, natural feel. Check out more by Ernest Haskell (American, 1876–1925) to see how he worked with texture.
