Every time i return home from an adventure, i find myself longing to get back out on the trail.
can you relate?
That’s why I make Adventure Art.
I want to tell you the story behind a few recent pieces
7”x10” art print of the original gouache painting based on some fairy mushrooms spotted along Laurel Creek in Tilden Regional Park. I am absolutely obsessed with these thin pinkish-brown "fairy" mushrooms that pop up as a symbol of the healing winter rains.
Each print is made locally in the Bay Area with a special process of pigment ink printing on cotton paper -- with a gorgeous watercolor paper texture like the original.
All prints will arrive wrapped with an acid-free backing to keep them safe before framing.
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.
