"Florid Fungus"

I'm constantly surprised by the beauty that can be found in the woods, especially in the middle of winter.  Highlighted by the sun I can see the subtle colors and patterns on each "fan" of this fungus,  growing on the bark of a tree.  I started this with the intentions of doing a very detailed graphite study.  However, I decided that I simply must render this in color.  So here it is in watercolor a medium that I haven't used recently.
