Botanicals

These botanical paintings were done from living specimens in the English watercolor style.

They are studies created out of my love for the natural world, and represent a kind of botanical chronicle of times and places: an August vacation in Maine, the Autumn of my husband's sabbatical in Cambridge, England, some Fall and Spring plants at the Chicago Botanic Garden and the Morton Arboretum, as well as some from my own garden.
