Many Mushrooms

I just can't stop seeing mushrooms!  I know it is a bit obsessive but their colors and shapes and endless variety seem to fascinate me.  I want to promise that before I paint another mushroom I will study them so that I can identify them by name...notice that is a promise I want to make....

This little study is 8" tall by 6" wide, done on cradled board and ready to be tucked into a special place.  I think it is very much a "feeling" piece as opposed to a "compositionally-correct" piece. 

That is, this confusion of color and shapes and distraction is exactly the way

the floor of the forest "feels" to me when I hike and, of course,

search for fungi specimen.  It's beautiful and abstract and then, wow, there's a

mushroom, and then there is another, and

another and another.

Suddenly there is a composition, suddenly it all falls together and begins

to have a very nice shape and flow to it.  Just takes a bit of study

and patience.
