watercolor of a tree of life, leaves, flowers, and seeds
Contest entry for the fabric8 Botanical Sketchbook contest. Circle of life collage in Rorschach and watercolor styling of a tree of life, sassafras leaves, maple leaves, the lily flower, a sweet petunia, gliding maple seeds,acorn seed cusps, and a bushel of mushrooms. Drawn on linen, sketch with an #H8 pencil, and painted in vibrant watercolor paints. Representing the cycle of life from seed to bloom and all around again, this fabric is perfect as a fat quarter with one side of the cycle represented, and looks amazing as a rorshach style repeat life of cycle on a yard of fabric. Versatile, lovely, and delicate - this botanical sketchbook drawing is timeless.
