Fly Agaric

Comments

Good watercolour and colouring Jennifer. I used to love painting toadstools. They are also abundant in England.

Strange things aren't they? Beautifully rendered here. Red for danger.

These are beautiful and I can understand your need to paint them. There is a group of these local to me……I may give them a go this autumn, no sign of them yet.

Painted from my photo of these which I took in Switzerland. These are the only Fly Agarics I have ever seen growing wild, so I had to paint them. Deadly poisonous, I always wonder why they are so abundant in Fairy stories.
