Description
Foxfire are bioluminescent organisms which use the same chemical compounds to glow as do lightning bugs (fireflies): luciferase. They grow at the base of hardwood trees and they are really quite this bright in color. Rather unmistakable. In the image: a golem /boggart may spy a lost ring in the leaf litter on the forest floor. In the image are Jack-O-Lantern mushrooms, paw paw trees with fruit, insects, ferns, moss, and a slug. 24" x 36" h. Oil painted on a gessoed ground applied to a sturdy 1” thick cradled and cross-braced hardboard.
