Gouache on Cotton Paper
A painting from a reference taken in Tilden Regional Park along Laurel Creek. Spotted these Fairy Mushrooms growing delicately out of a mossy decaying log. The golden branches of decaying sword ferns from last year’s summer heat provided the rich brown behind the purple of the decaying wood.

Gouache on Cotton Paper
Spotted deep in the blackberry brambles in Tilden Regional Park, a decaying print of an Ouija Board, a thing my deeply spiritual grandmother told me to never mess with. There was something gorgeous to me about this with the late afternoon light. The blue of the paper contrasted with the warm browns of the wet earth. Original reference photo taken with my Sony A 6000 camera and a 55-200mm telephoto lens.
