Presq'uile Paintings


This painting of "Mycena Ileania" mushrooms was really fun to do. It is and 11X14 inch coloured pencil with a pastel background. I knew nothing about mushrooms before I started this painting. The study of mushrooms is called mycology! These mushrooms, although they look big in the painting are actually only about 1 inch tall. While they are not poisonous they do leave an orange residue on your hands and persumably in your mouth if you eat them. This painting is nicely framed and for sale at $250.
