Man and Tree

I found a quote for this drawing:

Plants are the young of the world, vessels of health and vigor; but they grope ever upward towards consciousness; the trees are imperfect men, and seem to bemoan their imprisonment, rooted in the ground. -
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Also, I submitted this for Everyday Matters Challenge #15 – “Draw a tree or trees, leaves or branches”

This sketch is based on earlier sketch I did.
