joflasherNormally my muse and I have a good, professional working relationship. I say dragon, she says "rocks?". I say Default Fantasy Woman, she says "Rocks!". I say cute fuzzy, she says "God Dammit, ROCKS NOW!" and then I paint another techno-frog and we're good to go for another few pictures. However, this weekend I was filtering through a bunch of my digital photos and I found one I'd taken of shelf fungus on a oak tree. Now keep in mind, I had one commission on the board, 99% finished. I have two more waiting to go. I have blk's thingy to get done before Arisia and my sellable originals for the winter conventions are few to non-existent. You get the picture, lots of serious painting to do. And the Muse? She's going "Fungus, fungus, fungus, Fungus, FUNGUS!" and bouncing around like small child who has eaten pound of fudge.
So yeah, this isn't really my fault. I NEEDED to paint fungus. And since I couldn't figure out anything else to paint with it, you get a cute critter in a hat with it.
Field Guilde to Fungus - 5 x 7 watercolor on clayboard.
Afterwards, I finally got that commission finished.
Mountain Morning - 15 x 20 Watercolor . You can see a detail shot of him < a href = "http://www.joflasher.com/pages/watercolor/critters/mountain_detail.html"> here.
And finally, some Albuquerque art from the December trip.
Willow = 9 x 12 graphite on vellum

I pretty much always do what the muse tells me. I find that sometimes I can put in orders and get what I want back out. (Unfortunately, it usually shows up on my drive to work.)
