Mushrooms, Gnomes, and works in progress...

A few weekends ago we went on a hike to American Lakes (also called Michigan Lakes) in Colorado State Park. Here's the view from the top....



















And here's what we saw along the trail...









































Mushrooms like this always make me think of one of my very favorite books....



































"Gnomes" by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet. This book has delightful illustrations and is full of everything you ever wanted to know about gnomes.





















I'm working on some new portfolio pieces and the mushrooms will make a cameo in one of them...























Hopefully I'll have the finished versions up on my website soon. I'm also working on an illustration for my friend's baby shower invitation, so I'll post that in the next day or two. I hope you enjoy the holiday weekend and that you get to have some end-of-summer fun! Cheers!
