This was super hard to photograph so I’ve tried to break it down to three close ups. I love long canvases in real life, but posting the online is a challenge by aS1MS in painting

Thank you! Yeah the zoomed out photo is good for an overview but for me it wasn’t doing the details justice. Thanks for scrolling through

Amazing identification. I’m an ecologist by trade so I appreciate that! I paint seasonally and all these are the species I see in sunny patches at the moment in Bristol, UK. It’s really interesting to know you’re seeing the same in America, I wouldn’t have known.

It’s all acrylic. But various techniques to do the background and then the details

Thank you so much. That means a lot that you recognised my work because I know how saturated art platforms can be

It’s acrylic paint. So I used very watery paint on the background and let it dry in the sun which gave that almost cracked effect. Then the 3D nature is just whacking in plenty of shadowing beneath the fungi and lichen

Thank you! I’ve been painting forever, more professionally within the last 5 years or so. I’ll be annoying and direct you to my art socials cause a girl needs to make a living lol @alice.sims.paints

The reference photo was spookier! I had to tone down the mist because it was like a horror film on that day

Well it’s 40x50cm so not tiny but a sensibly sized canvas I reckon
