Solstice Shrooms
I was trying to capture a moment and time of year in an ancient way – that feeling of the solstice when everything feels charged with possibility and the natural world seems to hum with old magic.
These vibrant mushrooms with their bold red caps dotted in white emerged from my brush like they'd just pushed through the forest floor themselves. There's something timeless about mushrooms, the way they appear overnight and disappear just as quickly, connecting us to cycles that have been happening since long before we were here to witness them.
The deep, rich green background creates that mystical woodland atmosphere I was after – the kind of place where you might stumble upon a fairy ring or feel like you've stepped into an old folk tale. The intricate detailing and organic shapes make them feel alive, almost breathing.
This piece celebrates the magic of seasonal turning points, when the veil between worlds feels thinner and even the simplest forest discoveries carry weight and wonder. It's for spaces that honor both the ancient rhythms of nature and the whimsy of stumbling upon something unexpected in the woods.
