Description
A purple rhododendron blooms in full flower at the center of this hand-colored botanical illustration, its clustered petals rendered in soft lavender and blue with delicate yellow stamens. Surrounding the main bloom are elongated green leaves, unopened buds, and two golden butterflies poised in flight, all arranged against a warm cream ground with subtle depth created by pale wash layers. At home in a naturalist's study or a plant lover's botanical garden room. Printed to order on heavyweight matte paper at a petite 3-by-4 or 4-by-4 inches, with an optional poplar wood stand so it can sit upright on a desk or shelf. Small enough to fill the gap in a gallery wall or start a new one. Your first original, priced to collect more than one.
