Amongst other things, we bought mushrooms. When the lady was putting some mushrooms into a paperbag for me, I took a photo of her box of mushrooms.

I thought the mushrooms were a different post:)....here too a wonderful shot and lovely rendering with the turquoise background with the tans of the mushroom.
Dear Evelyn,
Thank you for the beautiful painting and the interesting photos. If you do not mind, could you please explain how you made green dots in the background? Lovely!
Cheers, Sadami
mushrooms? i never seen artichokes before till now.. so this is something new to me..
Yummm! I love mushrooms. The details of the mushroom in your drawing are amazing...great talent you have there :-D
@ Sadami:
Thanks. I used salt crystals (they are much bigger) in the same manner as salt on the background. Hope that helps.
Have a nice day, Evelyn
gorgeous! i love what you did with the background!
WOW!! You are so talented. I had a portabella (sp?) sandwich today, this reminded me of my yummy lunch.
you have a fantastic style - great work
Ooh, I like your painting and photos.
Is that handmade paper I see? I think so. Did you make it? It's the perfect background for a mushroom--also an artichoke--just the right amount of ruggedness. I use to make paper years ago--made my own suction vat. Is that how you got the tint and spots of color--by adding it to the slurry? Very exciting.
@ L.W.Roth:
Hi Linda, that is regular watercolour paper with washes and salt crystal for the greenish spots. I've never made paper before but I can imagine it would look great. But it would be a challenge to paint on.

A lovely painting you've created inspired by your own photography!
