This painting shows black shapes on a white background. You see two thistle plants with spiky tops, a tall tree, and some wavy lines that look like water or a path. The shapes are rough and uneven, like they were drawn quickly with a thick marker. The artist used ink and pencil, making the black lines stand out against the plain white paper. The way the shapes overlap gives it a busy, tangled feel. If you like this style, check out Paul Morrison.
