This morning I went for a bike ride. I knew with all the rain mushrooms would be springing up everywhere. I took my plastic bag to bring some home, to paint of course. I found these amazing yellow ones with red on top-- I just looked them up they may be amanita muscaria which are poisonous and hallucinogenic
.Oh boy.. I've been handling them and rearranging them.. ah.. well I just put them in the painting and have buried them in the backyard. Wait a minute --did I just plant them. oh my.. ha ha.. Well this painting should have a story if I don't keel over in the middle of it. Just kidding. I guess I'd better look up the rest of the mushrooms. Be careful out there!! talk to you soon,Diana
Yesterday while walking along the trail in Hampton I photographed those mushrooms too --didn't know they were hallucinogenic and poisonous!!! good thing I only caught them in the camera :) I love the way you have painted them!
