Graphite and watercolor, 7″x9″, 2012.
I owe my fascination with acorn caps to my aunt Cathy, who made up stories about them when I was 3 or 4. Such lore is now lost, but I enjoy collecting them for the fun of it (or for “knobs” on the holders I make for Brownies) and sniffing acorns when they’ve freshly fallen each autumn! There’s nothing quite like it!
