End of August!

 It's the last day of August & my mind is racing with usual September anticipations! Fall, no more mosquitos, leaves changing colours, mushrooms & even Halloween (one of my favourite subjects to paint) & even my sons Birthday - always worth celebrating. I ventured out yesterday and the mushrooms are plentiful - I noticed a few of the edible - have been nibbled! Animals are so smart.  Inspired by the mushrooms (as always) I started my next acrylic, round - Ontario mushrooms! In the image you'll notice I have numbers on the mushrooms -page numbers for reference.  They are all real.  Because I'm working with acrylic one aspect I love is it covers pencils & mistakes nicely, once it's dry you can work over it.
 
Next, I feel a portrait painting, inspired by the last Domestika class with Jon Berkeley - I love his use of different colours and  'editorial style & I have a few editorial cartoons I've been pondering.  While the weather is still nice I try to spend as much time outside as possible - the ducks, now full grown are always a pleasure to visit & watch them waddle around the pen.  Duck paintings on the horizon.  Time to kick the ball and look for more mushrooms before I paint.  I want to emphasize, these Domestika classes have been a nice little boost to my own creativity (more than Netflix), I encourage others to check them out.   The chill in the air has French Onion soup calling!

Below is a tiny mushroom Jack-o-lantern, painted on black paper -  to experiment & play with the paper & acrylic, the paper has a texture I do not like and too absorbent for the acrylic, making it difficult to spread & blend - lesson learned.  I'll save this pad for pastels or gouache but again, it's hard to achieve the detail I usually desire, so it might sit on the shelf  or used for crafts'.   It was a fun little pre-halloween idea to paint though - inspired by the orange mushroom, found in the woods.

Thankful for another day to create, cook and chase dogs & ducks.  Enjoy your day - what ever you do.
