Scribble Picnic: Watch Out!

it's that time of year

whether 

autumn or spring

rains inspire the fungi 

to rise through the earth

(or this one from dead wood)

 

offering treasures for us to find

so Watch Out

don't step on them

delight in their fairy like character

they come in so many shapes, sizes and colors!

Visit Scribble Picnic to enjoy 

other's art for:

Watch Out!

Fungi Kin

I really enjoy making these fantasy landscapes

loosely based on fungi that I have photographed

so often mushrooms, lichen and mosses

feel like a magical realm

yet it is our realm

we live in a magical kingdom

Scribble Picnic: black and white

I drew the white bits with a masking liquid pen

and let it dry

then wet the sky with water and dropped black ink into it

(I learned this technique from Stephanie Law's

youtube video, thank you Stephanie!) 

the landscape was painted with pure black ink

when dry I rubbed the masking away revealing the white

It was a fun thing to do and I think I would enjoy trying it again

Scribble Picnic: Curly

home sweet home

~

waiting for my dentist appointment

I drew this lady with curly hair

and 

her colorful home

with curly smoke

and 

curly clouds

 ~

later sitting in the lobby

looking a the floor

I spied this serpent in the grains of the wood

and 

thought it a rather curly serpent

~

Morchella

with our mountains on fire

we begin to dream of spring

mushrooms

the delectable morel fungi

they spring from the soil the year after a forest wildfire
beacons of new life

Scribble Picnic: square with and X

this week Michael chose a shape for us to work with:

I had a number of ideas, but somehow using the shape to inspire a design 

is what won out. 

I need a rug to go on my hard wood floor before winter, for warmth. 

As I worked on this I saw it as a rug. 

Visit Scribble Picnic 

to see art by others with this shape in it somewhere, somehow.

Waiting

patience was not needed

curiosity had touched his heart so deeply

that the only choice 

was to wait

hoping to see who would come out the door
