Over the years, I have drawn many a landscape on the smaller scale. Little nooks and crannies that are filled with moss or roots. Places where the mysterious mushroom lives it short life. I am fascinated with the beautiful fruiting fungi and their many colors and shapes they come in, never mind their names! I usually do studies from my mind, rarely using photos or sitting out in the middle of the woods trying to capture a fleeting moment. This particular drawing is of a small area visited by a gnome, who is smiling and shows no worries. Even though this art work is pure fiction due to the knowledge that morels and puff balls grow at different times of the year and in different environments, it's the possibility that this could actually have taken place or how did it get seeded in my brain? That is the magic of art, anything is possible. This piece is done on card stock with pen and ink. For more information, please feel free to leave a comment. Enjoy!
I love your art, I still have the bottles you painted for my wedding.
