FOREST FANTASY - "ONCE IN A BLOOD MOON"

Taking a break from painting Dragonflies, I am heading in the direction of some of my favourite things. This painting had been brewing in my mind's eye for awhile until I thought I'd better just go for it.  Of course my paintings generally have a bit of their own Free Will and evolve to something a bit different to what I had imagined.  But that is the joy of art, painting and creating. 

I have long held a love and fascination for our rainforest giants....the Strangler Figs and wanted one to be a main subject in this painting.  
 
With all the rain we are currently getting here  in Queensland, I am noticing alot of wee fairy seats.....Mushrooms......popping out of the ground.  I just love these delicate little plants and also wanted them to be another focal point. 
 
Of course the Moon is another favourite of mine and this Blood Moon calls on a memory I have from a camping trip to Coochie Mudlo Island (over 20 years ago) where I saw a giant red moon-rise which looked so much like a sunrise.....totally awesome!

FOREST FANTASY - "REVERENCE FOR HER"

Another tribute to the Moon........oh how I love her.  I can just stand there absorbing her light and smiling at how beautiful she is at every stage of her cycle, but especially when she's full.  It's amazing how much is affected by the power of the moon and the subtle changes in behaviour I see in some people (although if you ask a scientist, they'll probably laugh).
