Polypore Fungi painting update
November 1, 2007
Polypore Fungi finished - 58 x 41 x 1.5 inches,acrylics, modeling paste, plaster on canvas
One of the goals for this painting was to see if a composition could remain balanced with the main subject offset to the right. With Petra’s suggestion there is more contrast..also scrubbed some paint away for more background to show through.
Considered smoothing out and the fungi with more plaster and sanding, decided against, and painted illusion instead. I like the rougher hand-made look of the fungi, and think it can’t venture too far from the blurry background (style balance). Painting finished, but open to critique.
Polypore Fungi * are lesser appreciated life forms that help maintain the healthy life cycles of forests by aiding the decay and conversion of plant and animal matter into nutrient-rich soil. {*and mushrooms, bacteria, molds, lichen and other non-flowering plants}
