This was one of those should-never-happen occasions when I found myself in woods without a camera. I came upon these fantastic fungi and made black and white sketches with colour notes. The painting was produced from the sketches and notes a week or two later, as faithfully as they and my memory would allow.

Love this!
Yes this is a vibrant picture which has captured the feeling of the fungi.
Great use of colour
I think it might be a good thing you didn't have the camera. Memory - fancy - imagination - serves your creativity perfectly. Beautiful!
Wonderfully colorful. I love it.
The painting is beautiful,Dave.
You have a splendid memory!
If this is what happens when you go into woods without a camera,I wish many more such occasions ahead!
Methinks one may have consumed some of said fungii before painting that one. Very psychedelic.
this is really wonderful. I find myslef rather glad you didnt' have the camera to mess it up - what evolved out of the sketches and notes is so vibrant and has so much feeling!

Thanks, though I feel I did not capture the size of them - they were enormous.
Karen
That's a lovely thought - and a lovely compliment. Thanks.
Carl
Thanks Carl.

Maybe I'll try it once in a while!

Appreciate that, Jim, but had I consumed any of said fungii I think I may by now be in a far more psychedelic place than this!

A warm welcome to my blog and many thanks for taking the time to comment. All feedback is valued.
Nice, but oddly enough it reminded me of Spanish flamenco dancers...
Terrific! I like the way you brought it to life via sketchbook, memory and watercolors.
Wow to that watercolour Dave. Also glad you didn't have the camera.
