The great funghi
One of the really cool things about living in the "rain forest" is that there are so many amazing types of mushrooms! No, I don't pick wild ones to eat but I do love to stop and look at them.
This painting however, was headed for the trash on several occasions just because I kept getting stuck with how to handle the background. I'm still not totally happy with it but it is what it is. I'm not crazy about the shadow either but over all, I pushed my self out of my normal comfort zone and learned a few more things...

Wowee! I love it! Wonderful texture on the mushroom and the glowing dark background sets it off perfectly.
One of your best! As previously said your background helps to make the mushroom stand out and POP without competing for you eyes. It is so realistic with attention to detail ie, the gills and detail on the stalk that you are just drawn in to stare and wonder!
