Oyster Mushrooms

A few weeks ago my daughter and I went with a friend to the Bellingham Farmers Market on Saturday. I saw these beautiful oyster mushrooms at a booth selling mushroom growing kits. The smooth texture and beautiful glowing colors made me wish I had my pastels with me. I’m really pleased with how this painting turned out. If you like it in this photo, you’ll love it even more in person!
