Shrooms

Getting down to the wire on the cookbook, and I have to quit messing around repainting the same things over and over and get 'er done. I'm going to plan to paint an ingredient to go with each recipe every night when I get home for the next week or so, and I should be done. Tonight: Mushrooms. I bought an array to give a little interest--white, crimini, portabella, shitake--and tossed them out on the table. The shadows and the mushrooms got a little confused with each other, but it was fun to do this essentially monochromatic study. Tomorrow: Broccoli!

  1. Nice! I always think I will try drawing some ingredients from dinner, but then I get involved with the cooking. Maybe your lovely mushrooms will remind me to try.

    1. The secret is, buy them early in the day and paint them before you get hungry!

  5. Beautifully drawn :)
    I am a big fan of mushrooms so I get them all in the house because my wife doesn't like them
