Thanks for visiting the King and Queen mushrooms. This is a 2007 painting, but the original 1974 version, was slightly enhanced by the mushrooms of the washington bog. They brought forth the vision of mushroomdom.... I always wondered what was at the end of that path. Keep up your good work.....Craig

I have a pretty good "tree" background with my natural resource degree- I'm married to a forester- I live in the woods- in a post and beam house- I burn wood- I notice and photograph trees all the time.  Sometimes I see a tree that gives me an idea- sometimes I think of a title and I look for a tree that fits it- I have a bark identification book so that I can be accurate- parts of the tree come from a picture I already have, what I want it to look like, how I adapt it to have a face- and I refer to a tree field guide for the general shape of a tree- I like my details to be accurate and sometimes I sketch a shape from a standing tree- but it's always a combination of all those things. Thanks for asking!

Everyone has a story to tell and I believe there are many in my photograph “Man In The Church Courtyard”.  I see this man walking around town occasionally but have never talked to him.  It was a cold, cloudy Sunday morning in January when I took this photograph, so a part of your assumption is correct.  He stayed in that position for over 15 minutes while I took the photograph form a distance, never looking up or making a motion.  I myself always wonder if he is praying for something he does not have or something he needs.

 

The sad part is I watched as the church let out, and not one person form the congregation stopped to speak to this man or offer a hand.  However, you are correct there is hope.

 

Thank you for the comments.

I thought something was up.  I noticed the other day that someone
else was apologizing for the word TITLE.  I think there might be
another word that is getting replaced too.

I also noticed that if you try to create a link to your site it will last a little while and then it will just say Link where your website should be.   They must have a few bugs in the HTML for this site.

 

 I see that you now have some close ups of your work.  It really shows off your S T Y L E.

Kara - thanks for the comments and for visiting my page. Someone else tried typing "title" a bunch of times and Scuttlebutt changed it every time to "title"...it was hilarious...you could tell how frustrated she was by the number of times she posted a new comment just trying to type that one word : )

Keep on creating and we'll see you around these pages sometime soon!
