Ok, so maybe this isn't mushroom art (don't quite know what that might be), but this piece definitely has a mushroom on it. I made this background with cuttings from a catalog we got in the mail, and the colors turned out much deeper and richer than I had expected. I immediately saw the mushroom in the image and just sort of brought it out a little bit more strongly. It has a good bit of gold on it, which unfortunately is hard to see on this photo. These are very different colors for me and I really love the richness of it.As an aside, we are having weather that is so unusual for us - today we barely made it above 60 degrees and it's been gray, windy and rainy all day. We keep joking that my friend brought the weather with her from Germany... But truly, we are enjoying the late cool days as we usually are well in the 80's by now! Having had my friend here has been wonderful! We can't believe a week has almost passed and she leaves again tomorrow. Although we are both sad her vacation is coming to an end, we truly made every minute count!
Yes yes! I agree it's a mushroom!
ReplyDeleteI like the earthy feel of it.
I hope you're enjoying your time with your friend. Yeah for buddies!
Yeah! that you are able to make art with your friend visiting. I can't seem to make anything and I'm all by myself. Sorry your visit is coming to an end, I hope it was a nice one.
ReplyDeleteThe more I look at your image the more I like it. The mushroom reminds me of a young "King Bolete" that grows in our neck of the woods. They sometimes have a reddish hue like the one in your painting.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I thought the resurrection ferns in your last post were amazing. It's so fascinating to see what kind of flora grows in other areas.
Wonderful, what fantastic colours! I think this is my favourite so far. Sorry that your friend's visit is coming to an end, but I'm sure you enjoyed every minute!
ReplyDeleteLove your abstract mushroom art. The colours are intense and vibrant.
ReplyDeleteOh the cold is here too. Most mornings the sun is shinning and you think we're going to get a lovely summer day. Then about 10 am the clouds go grey and we get rain and more rain and more rain! Uk for you,lol!
Sending you a BIG SMILE!
I can hear the faeries rustling the leaves around your dear mushroom! Glad for you that the trip went well! Blessings friend.
ReplyDeletethe weather has been so odd...we had 23 days straight of rain. I am loving this new thing called 'sunshine!' :)
ReplyDeleteIt`s georgeus, -like standing near a fire-lending color to the surrundings-
