jimson pod 6x6

A fellow teacher gave me this to paint this morning (thanks Pollyanna!). Jimson is also known as "locoweed". My students had all kinds of crazy stories regarding its use and urged me to not eat it alone. They were concerned that I have someone around to monitor me in case I had a bad trip. It actually never occured to me to eat the crazy looking thing in the first place.

liquid amber pod 6x6

Liquid amber trees are everywhere and these little pods are all over the place all year long. I like painting them. they're always a little different. The hooked stem is what caught my eye on this one.
