It is a symbiosis, sometimes centuries old, between a fungus and one or more photosynthetic partners, typically green algae, cyanobacteria, or both. The fungus provides structure and protection. The photosynthetic partners provide food. Neither can form a lichen alone. What grows on the stone surface is the architecture of this collaboration, built outward at a rate of millimeters per year. This painting maps that multi-species landscape in close-up. The green washes are the stone itself, its mineral surface rendered through watercolor. The pale areas left as bare panel are a crustose lichen, its body so flat against the rock that it appears to be part of the surface. The darker veining and the yellow-green patches are other lichen species sharing the same stone face, each with its own chemistry and growth rate. A single rock can host a dozen species in overlapping territories, competing and coexisting over decades. The entire composition is a portrait of a community.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eOther Paintings in the Series\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lizaboffi.com\/products\/lichen-on-stone-blue?variant=47905006354691\" title=\"Lichen on Stone Blue\"\u003eLichen on Stone Blue\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lizaboffi.com\/products\/lichen-on-stone-yellow?variant=47905010385155\" title=\"Lichen on Stone Yellow\"\u003eLichen on Stone Yellow\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMy Promise \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10% of proceeds from every purchase are donated to the World Wildlife Fund to support the protection of endangered species.
