I spent this evening painting gorse thorns with tempera paint made with the ashes of burned drawings of gorse bushes that were drawn in charcoal made from gorse branches.
💛 This shrub blooms a radiant golden yellow during the winter months. The gorse, (furze or whin) grows in forest edges and on heathlands, in areas with poor soil - Stralend goudgeel staat deze struik in de wintermaanden te bloeien. De gaspeldoorn staat in bosranden en op heidevelden, op plaatsen waar de grond voedselarm is 💛.
