Here’s a painting from 2011. It’s acrylic and found object on panel and it’s 68X44 inches. I call it False Morel or The Mycologist’s Bad Dream.

This painting has been hanging down in my little basement studio for some time. I keep it up because it makes me smile. It has not (yet) been exhibited, but I hope to change that condition. The found object is metal. It looks like it was once part of somebody’s muffler or something like that. I affixed it to the panel with two screws. I found this unusual object in a parking lot and drove it around in my car for months before deciding it was really a false morel and needed to be part of a painting.
