Remember the rooster phase of my watercolor world? They are a dim memory now and I’ve been captured by mushrooms. I painted one from a photograph years ago, but forgot about it. Whilst traveling, I saw a painting of some mushrooms and went “Ahhhh…..” And then “Ooohhh…” followed by “Oh, yes…I must paint me some of those.”
Just realized when looking at the photo that I’d forgotten to remove the masking fluid! Rookie mistake. So just for your education and edification, here’s the same painting with masking fluid removed.
Which do you like better?
There will be more mushrooms emerging from my workshop.
For extra credit, tell me the book from which the title of this blog came. Kris and Karl are excluded from this quiz since you know already. Sorry!
I’ll probably blow away the spores of this post in the morning.

Masking fluid. Huh?

Yes, it’s like glue. It covers the area that you want to remain white so you can paint right over it and then remove it when the paint is dry. Probably should have explained that.

I think I like the painting with the masking fluid best.
The middle painting. They are all wonderful. Good for different purposes, different stories, perhaps? No extra credit for me. I don’t know the origins of your title. 🙂

Funny – I kind of liked the middle one best, too.
It’s the name of one of the early chapters in “The Fellowship of the Ring.”
