Sculptural Paintings of Fungi
From my walks in the woods, I find so many beautiful fungi, mushrooms and lichen, that I just had to paint them- and then felt that the best way to paint them was to do it in a way that gives the feeling of seeing them in 3 dimensions. I used cigar boxes, and I painted on them so that the landscape is joined and extended.
