Mushrooms
Mushrooms appeal to me because they emerge by dancing. Early in the morning just the tip of their caps poke up through the soil. But as the sun warms them, they wiggle out showing their stems and then their gills. I arrange their composition on the paper in the same way I arrange my dancers on a stage.
