Nature Offers Weeds - Teri Casper

Sorry this is difficult to see but it is done with ink on handmade paper. When I look at it, my ink sketch and the paper work so well together, it is just amazing.

Monday was not a good day so in the afternoon I took a walk to the lake with sketchbook in hand and these weeds grabbed my attention.

As I sat in the chair overlooking the lake, there was a whole line of weeds against the skyline. Weeds never looked so good.

So I sketched them.

And I felt better.

And of course, here is the haiku that came to mind as I sat there:

I had to go sketch

And leave the world behind

Nature heals the soul

and

See the weedlinescape

Framing the lake beyond them

Beauty from nature

These came later:

Nature offers weeds

Don't let the weed word fool you

Weeds create wonder

And

Sketching in nature

Enjoy the inspiration

Post it and share it

I told you haiku has just been pouring out of me.
