Art Challenge: Winter Salon


deep in a California forest
land of moss and rain
there was a winter party going on
the fungi gathered 
to dance and chatter

one of them said: can you imagine living in a Montana forest
earth frozen and cloaked in snow
we could not fruit until spring


all the more reason to gather and celebrate life
~

winter Salon is our theme this week
offered by our lovely friend Stefanie

I did not know what it meant
I think it is a lovely idea to gather, visit, share and ponder
with one another

Thank you for being our host Stefanie!

  9. Such a beautiful painting Tammie. Such warmth and gentleness. Only you could interpret a winter salon as a friendly gathering of mushrooms!

  15. I do enjoy seeing your paintings of the natural world and the changes in the seasons reflected in them. It's easy to miss when one lives in a city!
