Project VII-Day Seventeen: Muskox

My second favorite collection of diorama displays are at Denver Museum of Nature and Science. They're fantastic. They follow the format of American Museum of Natural History in NYC: glass-enclosed scenes of specimens within their indigenous environments. Behind the animals and foliage is a curved painted backdrop, giving the illusion of a 3D space but Denver takes it a step further. The painted backgrounds are beautifully rendered - they could easily stand alone as paintings. The muskox diorama made the top of my list. I. Love. Muskox.

Holy moly: One. Day. Left.

Project VII-Day Thirty: Grass

And that is a wrap! Day Thirty's photo was taken at Oliver Nature Park in Mansfield, TX earlier this summer. The labeling of each drawing evolved during the project. In the bottom left-hand corner is the sequence number of the drawing within the 30-day time frame and the location of where the reference photo was taken. My take away from this particular project was having the opportunity to spend more time with a special moment I had in nature. It allowed me to marvel at the intricacies of the plants and animals around us.
