Toadstools in the Forest

Oil painting, on recycled pallet wood, of toadstools in an Autumn Forest. I wanted to create a fairytale illustration using found-materials in the spirit of "Stig of the Dump" or "The Wombles" celebrating Fly agaric toadstools which may have been brought to New Zealand in the early 20th century, and light up the edges of pine forests and bush walks reminding everyone of their childhood. The pallet wood is freely available on the street corners in my local town, sometimes it is collected for firewood or plant boxes, this time I wanted it for art. Dimensions are: 448 x 290mm. 

Shipping is free in New Zealand, however, could overseas buyers please contact me by email to discuss purchase and shipping. See "About" page: therookywood@outlook.com.
