A Walk in the Woods- sketches,photographs and inspiration for mixed media art quilt canvas

This morning I took a walk in the woods to gain inspiration for my latest project. I am making 2 mixed media art quilts on canvas to go on the living room wall.

This post is very image heavy

This is the entrance to Shotover woods

The first thing you see when you step off the track are millions of acorns, some up to 2" long

I couldn't resist these blackberries

A fly on a leaf is slightly strange but I managed to get close enough to reflect his lovely green tones

The white dot on this acorn looked simply stunning on the nut brown

Deep into the interior

I love bracken, esp when its in mid turn from green to gold

The play of light and dark
