A Crab Watercolor and Wild Mushrooms

crab.. in progress

Sadie Sketches..

Oyster mushrooms??
HI. Here is a crab watercolor. I've just sketched onto my poured background and am negatively painting around the crab. I actually have a little time today!!! Oh it feels so good to paint. Here are 2 sketches of Sadie ha.. one she has her head off the bed. Wish I could sleep that soundly! On my forages into the woods, here are some Oyster Mushrooms. No I don't feel like my identification is good enough to try them... but it's so much fun to find a new mushroom to just look at.. ok maybe paint.... I too found Old Man in the Woods Mushrooms, these are black with almost fur on top and grow from dead wood..so unusual looking. So back to the crab.. hope you know who(Sadie-our puppy) is not awake yet.. love to you,Diana

  3. Oh to have a woods nearby. Well...that is silly. I do. But the earth is really soft back there so I don't manage it. Anyway, your painting is looking awesome, the sketches of Sadie so cute and the mushrooms quite intriguing!
