Mr Long Nose: If you expose the bones that lay deep beneath the ground, the living may stop wandering into the "Amanita Fields".

Miss Smiley Mask: That may be my intention.

Mr Long Nose: you don’t understand “dummy”, I find it amusing when they slowly die to poisoning.

Miss Smiley Mask: I don’t

Mr Long Nose: You are no fun.

Miss Smiley Mask: We need to place more warnings!.

I somewhat jokingly believe that every artist should tackle the famous Amanita Muscaria at some point during their careers, this gorgeous (and poisonous) mushroom has a long history in the world of the fine arts, and even though I’am not a fine artists I do love the subject matter.

This is the 4^th tackle at the artwork that two days ago taunted me and kicked me pretty hard in my already awful self-confidence, but this one time I was victorious, (for the most part).
