Despite the drought conditions
across most of the U.S., my little piece of Tennessee has been getting quite a
bit of rain this week. Because of that,
fungi have been popping up all over the woods.
This mushroom is a wonderfully perfect specimen of fungi-tude, and I was
in heaven getting to draw it. Don't know
why I am so excited by such a normal growth, but I have always had a
fascination with the varieties of mushrooms.
I went hiking in Glacier National Park, and the family groaned at my
count of all the different types I found along the walk...(16 on a 2 mile
trail!) I used ink, and kept it delicate
with a minimum of detail.

I share your fascination with mushrooms... there's something a little otherworldly about them, & no, I don't just mean the magic kind! This is a lovely portrait with a lot of character.
Thank you for your comment..I am hoping to move forward in my art and add more than just details...I want to add more imagination! Your work always inspires me to look beneath the surface and dream a little.
