On the oak tree side of our yard, there are several tree stumps cut at ground level. These original trees were cut to make room for building the cabin and thinned a bit to make it more "yard-like". Around the edge of this particular stump some beautiful, luminous mushrooms have popped up this past week.
WOW, how cool!
ReplyDeleteThey are really very pretty, with colors a bit brighter than my current earthy granulating palette. Especially against the old oak stump which actually is a bit on the blue side.
DeleteYou really captured the feel of mushrooms with this sketch. I need to forward the link to this to my friend Tonya at Scratchmade Journal. She loves to sketch mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Tonya's art! Her mushrooms remind me of the studies painted by Beatrix Potter.
DeleteI love all the sketches and journal pages that you do, but your mushrooms are always fabulous! By the way, to be compared to Beatrix Potter is the best compliment ever. You just made my year! Have a wonderful holiday season, and happy sketching! :)
ReplyDeleteBeatrix was quite an amazing nature artist, wasn’t she? Yet only remembered for her children’s books.
DeleteHave a blessed Christmas yourself, Tonya!
