home depot shopping

I had to pick up a couple things at home depot and of course I left with two plants.  It's hard to resist.  This Christmas cactus was covered in buds and it seemed a shame to not bring it home with me and watch it bloom over the next couple of weeks...  This was just a pen drawing in my sketchbook but Jeanetta recommended I scan some drawings and then print them out to experiment with adding color so that's what I did.  (I worry that my shitty printer will start to turn on me if I keep feeding non-traditional paper through it, but so far so good...)  (the pen drawing without color is here)

'shroom

So I went to the farmers' market on Tuesday and along with a squash and some onions and a pomegranate and some yellow plums I bought a couple of very expensive mushrooms to bring home to draw.  This one smelled like dogfood while I painted it.  Gross.  The smell sort of stuck in my nostrils too, so I felt like I kept smelling it even when it was safely tucked back in the fridge.  Now I will leave it in the fridge in its little paper bag and forget about it, and then see what has happened to it when I find it again in a month or two.  Fun!
