Sweetfern, Comptonia peregrina, is neither sweet nor a fern. It looks like something the dinosaurs would have walked through, releasing the warmest, spiciest aromas of imagination.
Thanks, KB! This one started out as a painting of a very overcast sky observed between chores...the moon was making a soft glow across the part of the sky visible in a gap between trees. The next night when I did chores, there were big clouds moving rapidly in wisps across the moon - so I added them to the painting from the night before! :)

I immediately looked out the window here and there's a ghostly looking moon that looks very similar to this!

ReplyDeleteI recommend getting about two dollars worth of materials and putting all expectations in the recycling bin :)
DeleteI love the colors of the sky around the moon. The sky looks cold and misty, which is such a common look these days! I really love your painting!
