Come to my window ... (IF: Homage)
I love the form and shape of plants. I think this is what drew me to become a botanist. I've studied native Hawaiian plants for over 20 years now and yet, they still fascinate me. I guess that is why I've spent my life protecting them. Although this Syngonium is a common, non-native ornamental, and probably a bit invasive in its own right, I can appreciate its beauty. This is my homage to plants. This particular one grows just outside my window.
(And thanks again to Kate Rietz who always gives me great feedback).

Gosh, this is a stunning piece. Wow. Wow.

Hey Joan, this turned out fantastic! Really nice. I love the patience you have to do this kind of work. Must be very therapeutic.
Thnx for the link.
A wonderful Illustration!
this is great...i'm no botantist but i love painting leaves (putting them in paintings of course, not painting on them!)...there is something zen about it...
I love the details of this image, and how wonderful to look out one's window and this beauty to catch your gaze. You've done an amazing job capturing the essence of this plant!

Very nice! I love the way you have handled the lines. Amazing detail.
Thank you for your nice comments on my blog.
Thanks so much Laura, Miz K, Cobol, Ryan, France, Kate, Catalina, Anne, Indigene, and Eric! I had fun with this one. I do garner inspiration from plants. They are beautiful in their own right and much more complicated than anything a human could ever build. :)
France ... heh, you are in the know. :)
Kate ... your ability to see beyond what I do is always an inspiration. Thanks.
This is great. I love the great details. :)
Beautiful! I undertand you, plants always give us a lot of ENERGY!
