Early pen-and-ink trees

Here are a few more of my earlier pen-and-ink pieces. As you can see, I've always loved pattern, repition, and detail. I also like trees!

  3. Love the trees. I think that trees are very powerful in how they reach out to us. They are a universal symbol.

    1. Thanks bowiechick! These trees aren't properly Zentangle, more like zentangle-inspired art from years ago before I knew about zentangle!
      There might be a Certified Zentangle Teacher in your area. Go to zentangle.com and click the "Learn" bar. There's a long list of teachers, listed by location. You'll enjoy it; it's quite simple!

  6. Could these be used on a T-shirt for a non-profit school activity?
