New nature sketches

WOW has it been awhile since I've posted anything.  Been super busy with various projects to include Autumn cleanup outside the house and other indoor tasks.  Have done my share of running about with errands too.

These two sketches are from a "treasure hunt" on my son's property.  I was out walking around the perimeters of his property checking out the various trees, leaves, and seed pods I might find.  There are many varieties of trees, some of which I'm not real familiar with.  On the ground are acorns which say oak trees (that one I know) and also hickory nuts (as I've been told with my findings).  Also, after five days of rainy weather the yard was full of mushrooms.   I took these back and sketched with a Tombow marker and water with brush to make the ink bleed.
