Just your friendly neighborhood Common Greenshield Lichen, Flavoparmelia caperata. Unlike some lichen, these are fairly pollution-resistant and can be found in all but the dirtiest of places. #lichen #art #commongreenshieldlichen #flavoparmeliacaperata

Did you know lichen can live in the desert? The Namib desert even has an endemic species, the Namib Sun Lichen, Stellarangia namibensis

Yet another exciting instance of painting a lichen one week, then spotting it in the wild the next! This one was growing on the shingles of a decorative archway, so getting a picture was hard and really awkward because people were about and wondered why a rando was climbing on the ledge.

After a short break, I am back on the lichen line. This is a local fav, the Fairy Puke Lichen, Lcmadophila ericetorum. No cap, that's what it is called. Lichen have some of the best names!
