Fungus Among Us



Even though we've had some really warm days this week, nature isn't moving as fast as my brush. 
Nevertheless, the bare, lichened trees have inspired some new paintings.
I love the patterns of the fungus florets.

    The more lichen, the better the air quality...or so a scientist once told us when beholding our trees in the French countryside. Great subject for a painting.

    I think we must have good air here, because the lichen seems to flourish. Thank you all for stopping by! Have a great weekend.
