Mushroom Heart

Watercolor and ink, 2024

Watercolor illustration of a heart-shaped arrangement composed of various colorful mushrooms and fungi. The vibrant cluster includes red, orange, yellow, blue, and green mushrooms with diverse textures, such as spotted caps, ruffled edges, and delicate lichen. The fungi are layered intricately, creating a rich, organic composition. The background features a dark green, moody forest-like texture with subtle star-shaped details, enhancing the magical and earthy atmosphere of the artwork.

This detailed illustration was drawn using a dip pen and colored ink, and painted with watercolor. The composition features a heart-shaped arrangement of intricately drawn wild mushrooms, inspired by those Claire encountered during hikes in Maine. The species include pink oyster mushrooms, black trumpets, turkey tail, indigo milk caps, and fly agaric.
