A giant smiley face made of trees appears every fall on a hillside in Oregon, near the town of Willamina. The face was planted in 2010 by a pair of foresters who worked for the lumber company. They used a clever mix of larch trees, which turn yellow or orange in autumn, and Douglas fir trees, which stay green year-round.

Now each fall, as the larches change color, the smiley face appears like clockwork. It’s become a seasonal roadside attraction & a feel-good symbol.

A forest covered in trees as far as the eye can see & in the middle of the forest a smiley face appears in orange. The foresters used a clever mix of larch trees to create the face that appears every fall.

Hello my fellow mycelium people. Let me present you the mushroom lamp "Black 'n White".

Milky-white casts of real mushrooms on a dark wood. They look so innocent, almost boring. But in the dark they show their true colors, because they have color changing LED inside!

SOLD

Another painterly painting. I'm really enjoying this slightly new, quicker, looser direction, and the bright warm colours made me happy while I was working on it. Enjoy the quick time lapse gif,
the full 6 min video is here: https://youtu.be/5wtiGkvs8e0

A digital painting of a carpet of bluebells in a wood at sunset. Bright, orange and yellow lighting shines from the back of the scene, through painterly, blurred trees, and picks out details on deep purple flowers in the foreground.
 
As you may know I have quite the mushroom production here xD

Working for the upcoming convention, there's still a lot to do. Meanwhile this little fella sprouted. It's not for sale, in fact it's a gift and travels to a foreign country <3

Fare well little baby!

Spending time at a waterfall on hot days can be incredibly refreshing and beautiful. The sound of rushing water, the cool mist in the air, and the lush surroundings can create a soothing and rejuvenating experience.

Good morning #, or should I say # :D

Here are "two mosses and a pinecone" for ya. I just had to draw those little guys, because the last couple of days I keep thinking about mosses and pinecones. Why? I do not know.

But, I wish you all a happy weekend. Stay rad!

From the archives (shot 5 years ago), but I had to think about it through the arty challenge of @Curator

Friend of mine had made a coffee table and asked me to make photos of it. This isn't that table, this is an Ikea table that I used as a test piece to figure out some locations I could use.

So here, a table in a forest 😆

The Deer the Woods Sang To

Watercolor, 4x6. The bronze paint is from my set of paints that used to belong to my great Uncle Victor. They're from the 80s and still work :)

I have a WIP painting video here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/deer-woods-sang-80160545

The forest was silent, only occasional wood pigeons flapping away broke the stillness.
I was trying my new toy, Sony 80-200mm f/2.8, and I liked the foggy but bright light.

Hope to meet the folks in the Fediverse who are into woodturning, or plan to be – and share what woodturning, trade or hobby, is about. This post, and the upcoming ones, will mostly be about my woodturner daily life and surroundings; workshop, tools, harvesting wood etc.

Post 1: A peep into my workshop some days ago.

🌳 Germany's fairytale forests are real. Last year we went hiking with a friend for his birthday, through this forest near the border of France. I was lagging behind the whole time taking photos, entranced by the beauty.

There are barely 5 weeks left until Christmas, and we're prepared for the season!

Lily Lux is standing in the yoga tree pose between trees, in the middle of the forest, smiling. She has a sled full of gifts with her and the animals of the forest have gathered around her: Tits, swallows, bumblebees, robins, green woodpeckers, martens, otters, foxes, hedgehogs, magpies, bullfinches, hawks, sparrows, jays, mice and blackbirds are working together to steal food!
 
Before Winter arrives I thought I’ll share a few # shots I took this # on my travel through the Northwest Coast of #.

It was such an inspiring journey. I hope to be able to make use of all the amazing input I got in some new paintings soon. <3

Hello (the second, moving from mastodon.online)

I'm a creative at heart and it's hard to decide what I love the most, # and painting, capturing nature in a way that it seems a little more magical - or sometimes learning new (or ancient) crafts like # - but all my work has one thing in common: I love to make things look a little magical

Btw last week I crossed 600 sketches of # routine. I only started introducing colors in 360th one and I now think it was a great idea and I use watercolors in almost every one of them these days.
