“Shroomies,” 2021

This was the first piece during my ‘nature’ focus. I had wanted to create a strong piece without a reference image for some time, and this was the final product of that process.

I tried to put my main focus on the texture seen on the mushroom tops as well as the tree for this paining, which was very successful. I’d used both fingerprints, brush blobs, and palette knives to create the texture throughout. This piece was made using acrylic paint and ink.
