Hunting and Cooking Wild Chanterelle Mushrooms!

December 30, 2009 foreverbird 1 comment

So yummy! Thanks to David for showing me how to hunt for chanterelle mushrooms & cook them into a creamy pasta dish.

I got to see a great sunset! I want to paint this view!

Great clock! (at the home of my friends who introduced me to mushroom hunting.)

Playing with photoshop and illustrator ... sunset!

Sunrise...

I really enjoy looking at landscape paintings. There is something magical about the deep space that can be created in a landscape.

I think the key is to understand light and color … some of my favorite painters are: Monet, Wayne Thiebaud, Albert Bierstadt

Color Pencil Sketch from the Patio

I’m house sitting  a mini farm for a few weeks. There are 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 fish and 13 chickens. It’s a beautiful place to be! The woman who lives here is an artist. At the entrance to her studio was this poem: The essence of life is to care, the secret of life is to dare, the adventure of life is to learn, the challenge of life is is to change, the joy of life is to love.

I have been enjoying the rhythm and feeling of the repetition of natural cycles around me.
