Tree Trunk with Roots

Landscape and botanical sketch showing a view of the base of a pine tree within a dark forest, possibly in Vermont. At center, the tree's twisting roots wrap around a boulder, like fingers clutching a rock. The tree's stout trunk extends out of view at upper center. Moss is visible on the tree thoughout. Around it, leaves, soil, and other detritus on the forest floor are prominently visible. The gray-green ground is visible along the left margin. Brush and oil, graphite on off-white paperboard
