Winter Slow down

We’ve had freezing temperatures and clear skies for the past few days and for another few days, before we get back to the more typical overcast rain. A great excuse to stay inside, crank up multiple space heaters and get some artwork done! I’m working on an island summer deer-in-forest habitat piece that I began several years ago, but has sat in the flatfile drawers for several years while I was consumed with the home/studio build.

Mama and fawn. Possible Papa is also part of the scene, but not pictured.

Before the big freeze, I gathered goodies to make one last winter mushroom medley.

Mostly Laccaria, with some white coral fungi and black earth fingers, green lichen and (I think) yellow sulphur tuft mushroom centers.
