This one took quite a while to complete, but I really enjoyed it!
I knew I wanted to paint another possum... but I wanted to paint some action for a change, not just a static portrait.
Flipping around through my art books, I got a little bit inspired by Bernini's "Ecstasy of St. Teresa"... I was struck by this weirdly erotic religious state of ecstasy...
Which just sort of led to... frog cherubs and adoring worms and fungus spirits and a few magic mushrooms...
I quite like the bottom part especially, the way the vermillion underpainting worked around the little fungus spirits. It just makes me happy.
