Oak leaves and acorns / Feuilles de chêne et glans

            I've read that there are about 500 different species of oak trees in the world. No wonder oaks are so admired for their hard rich wood, beautiful leaves and acorns. The inspiration for this drawing came while I stopped for some rest on a bike ride. Above me, I could hear a lot of squirrels in a tree and saw a lot of acorns on the ground. Of course, it was an oak tree. The way that that light played between its branches and leaves was really special. I took some pictures and decided to make an ink drawing. It took a while to replicate the sunlight shining through the leaves by drawing hundreds of ink lines but I'm happy with the results. 

J'ai lu qu'il existe environ 500 espèces différentes de chênes dans le monde. Pas étonnant que les chênes soient si admirés pour leur bois dur et riche, leurs belles feuilles et leurs glands. L'inspiration pour ce dessin est venue lors que je m'arrêtais pour me reposer sur une balade à vélo. Au-dessus de moi, j'entendais beaucoup d'écureuils dans un arbre et voyais beaucoup de glands sur le sol. Bien sûr, c'était un chêne. La façon dont la lumière jouait entre ses branches et ses feuilles était vraiment spéciale. J'ai pris quelques photos et j'ai décidé de faire un dessin à l'encre. Il a fallu un certain temps pour reproduire la lumière du soleil qui brille à travers les feuilles en dessinant des centaines de lignes d'encre, mais je suis satisfait des résultats.
