I started painting relatively late in life. I tried watercolour and gouache as a teenager, without much success, and decided that I just 'couldn't paint'. I would stick to dry media, until many years later when my dad, who was also an artist, suggested I try acrylics. Much to my surprise, I discovered acrylics were fun to work with and I have dabbled on and off with this medium over the last decade.
This piece was created in the summer of 2022, inspired by the striking beauty of the fly agaric mushrooms I occasionally see growing near the canal where I live.
