Pinecone Drawings

Tis the season for all things pinecone!  Just ask Pinterest.

So to keep up with the trend, I had my (incredible) Art II students do close study graphite drawings of pinecones I picked up from under the massive pine tree in my front yard.  Below are some of my favorites:

I can't help but be reminded of that great book club scene in The Stepford Wives where the ladies/robots are engaged in an animated discussion about all the lovely holiday decorations one could make with pinecones.  Bette Midler's suggestions are hilarious.  My contributions here are decidedly tamer, but I'm obsessed all the same :)
