Coprinus Mushrooms and such

The other week my fiance and I were hiking at Duke's creek, when we happened upon a lot of different types of fungi, which was inspirational.So I started "Googleing" some inspiration and came across a picture of a coprinus mushroom. The color and the look of it, I really loved, so I decided to do a Dead Love version. I have most of it finished, just detail work left to do. Here are some inspirational photos of the mushroom that inspired me.

My niece & nephew are coming for a week, my sister for anot...

New City, New Art - Progress marches on

So my husband and I have been here in Denver now for about 9 months now and we are loving it! Now don't get me wrong, living in the mountains was amazing and we both definitely needed that, but change is great and I couldn't live life without a little now and then. Plus it was time for Ben and I to really start our own future.   From the moment we drove into Colorado I felt like I was home, I feeling I was not as familiar with as I wanted. This place was amazing, visual and just down right inspiring. There just seems to be a general caring for here. The environment is just clean and vast. Anyways I could go on and on. Moving here has kick started the passion for creativity again, the excitement for the future and what it holds. So my goal has been to try and dive into the art scene here and get into as many art shows as possible.
