I wanted to share this little botanical illustration! It found a new home during the art tour, but first I had to finish it! I'm really happy with how it turned out, and how my watercolor illustration skills are progressing!
I found this leaf early in the spring, right in front of my studio door one windy morning. I don't even know where there is a sycamore tree nearby so I have no idea where it came from. It was such an odd contrast to the newly emerging plants in my garden, and a reminder that even a curled leaf can be beautiful. It seemed to be asking to be painted.
There's more new work to come soon! I'm still working on a couple of large block prints, and have some new Maine inspired drawings!
