Forest Mushroom 5x7in



Forest Mushroom - oil/panel - 7"x5" - sold

My approach to creating this piece was that I worked in a kind of 'broken colour' way. From observing the forest floor I thought about how best to lay the paint down to describe the accumulation of leaves and twigs that surround this amazing forest mushroom.

I then turned my attention to describing the three dimensional form of the mushroom using lots of thin glazes. - think it has a real look of coming to life out of the forest floor.

Wishing you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas. - Richard
