Mushroom Magic
Liquid watercolor on Yupo (Robert Doak paint)
This is actually part of a much larger piece of a tree by the river. As the paint and water were flowing this little mushroom just magically appeared. It kind of got lost in the larger painting and I thought it deserved a bit more attention. Is that what you would call serendipity? I hope you enjoy the little guy : ) I do!

Doug Wilkening
Details can be very interesting. I actually see two mushrooms, but maybe that’s just me. I like the color combination.
Lynn Moore replied
Thanks Doug. Since I started painting I have come to love orange. Before I wasn’t drawn to it (except in sunsets) but somehow in paint, I think it is an amazing color!
Daidalos
wonderful work
Lynn Moore replied
Thanks for your encouraging comments!
Jan Timmons
Love the vivid orange hue. I originally thought your title referred to something out of the ‘60s. What kind of paint do you use? Lovely shroom, Lynn.
Lynn Moore replied
Someone from RB said my painting “Hope” reminded him of an acid trip (in a good way – is there such a thing as a good acid trip?) – but my work nor my titles have anything to do with drug use or the 60’s. Its interesting to me though that people have these associations : )))
Jan Timmons
Ah, I see the tag now with “watercolor” clearly spelled out, and noticed other references to it on other photos. I suppose other types of “paint”, such as oils and acrylics, don’t run together to form their own shapes.
Lynn Moore replied
Yes, sorry I wasn’t more clear Jan – it is watercolor!
madvlad
itz so colorful and itz beauty, got your attention too
Lynn Moore replied
Thanks so much!
linaji

Thank you so much Annette! What an honor!
Shelly Harris
Beautiful image:-)
Lynn Moore replied
Thanks Shelly. I meant to put in my response to your tree swing, that mine was a tree tire swing, but the effect is the same – childhood and swinging! We lose that sometimes don’t we? I need to swing more, even if it is only in my mind and heart!

Haydee Yordan...
Yes, I know, Lynn. Many times happen that when you have the least expectations it is the one people like the most. It happend to my with “Autumn Leaves”. In terms of crispness and colors it is good, but it is flat in terms of photographic techniques… and PUM!!! Everyone liked it so much. Photography and all art… has to do with feelings… don’t you think?
Lynn Moore replied
Yes, I am learning that : )

Thank you Lloyd : )
PamAmos
this is beautiful…....reminds me of an encaustic painting…......love the colours and the effects…......lovely…...may I ask, what is Yupo, is it a type of card?....
Pam :)
Lynn Moore replied
It is similar to a poster type paper except more shiny and slick. Paint loves to just run and move and slide; at least with watercolor; I have not yet tried acrylic on it. Part of why I like it is the unpredictability of it.
Dick Blick carries it I know if you want to check it out. I also have a journal article that has a more in depth description with the link to the Dick Blick web page if you want to check it out. Thanks so much for your kind words : )
