Trees and fungi have both captured my imagination.
 Without them we would not survive on the earth. While trees provide the
oxygen we need, fungi along with bacteria break down organic matter and
release carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus into the soil and the
atmosphere. It’s the importance of fungi and the variety of shapes, colours
and their habitat that attracts me. I’ve been photographing fungi and
mushrooms for over 40 years but it’s only in the last couple of years they’ve
 found their way into my paintings. This is the seventh painting in a new series,
All About Fungi.
