I spent a few days obsessively playing with all sorts of oak leaves and acorns. The more I looked at them and the more varieties I found on my walks the more colors and textures I wanted to add to my collection.

Sketchbook #111: Treasures - Acorn Collection
There are many kinds of oak trees in California and I've been trying to learn about them for a while. This year my acorn collection grew and I'm going to take a more systematic approach and keep all acorns I collect from squirrels until I positively ID them :)
Sketchbook #93: Treasures
Often I start with one corner and continue adding treasures as they are found or presented to me by others. And sometimes I get a whole page worth of treasures at once!
Sketchbook #93: Treasures
Drawn while waiting for the lunar eclipse and discussing word sheen and it's use for describing different shades of colors as well as different patina-like changes in the color of acorns.
