A small, loose watercolour painting of a dark violet rose with a green stem with small leaves. The background is yellow ochre. At the bottom there are a few leaves.

Tried loosely painting a rose without a pre-sketch on my palm sized pad. I still have issues with adding too much water to the paint.

these pictures show black and white bookplate designs, with pencil lines still visible around the edges. The first design is rounded on top, like a bell jar, and contains a bouquet of stylized bell shaped flowers, ferns, oblong leaves, and fluffy shapes on a branch. Several moths fly around near the top of the jar. The background is black, with a stippled segment of a large circle looming in from the left like a full moon. Both designs have a blank space at the bottom to write your name, with small text above that reads from the library of.

This second design is shaped like a postage stamp, complete with a 10 cent marking in the upper left corner. It depicts two cherry blossoms on a bud covered twig, on a black cloudy background. Both have a blank space at the bottom to write your name, with small text above that reads from the library of.

A small palm sized watercolour painting of blue snowdrops taken from a low down perspective. In the background are people walking in the park and a tree trunk on the right and behind that is a street with a row of terraced houses.

Love Buzz, linocut print of a bumblebee on a wild rose.

A little look at how much work is in our Love Buzz print.
An extremely detailed study of a bumblebee on wild rose.
It’s time to get back into the garden and enjoy a little bit of nature.

A single sunflower stands centered and upright against a softly glowing atmospheric background, its tall slender stem rising from a bed of dark, blurred wild grass at the base of the frame. The flower head is large and fully open, its petals ranging from deep amber-orange at the base to bright golden yellow at the tips, radiating outward from a wide, densely packed dark brown seed disk at the center. Two broad green leaves emerge from the stem at different heights, one partially curled and slightly wilted. The background is a seamless gradient wash moving from deep burnt sienna and rust at the ground level through warm amber and pale cream in the middle, fading upward into a soft cool teal-gray at the top of the frame. The overall image has a distinct vintage or analog film quality, with visible grain, subtle light streaks, and small dust or bokeh particles scattered across the surface, particularly in the upper portion of the composition. The border of the image has a faint white vignette edge, adding to the aged photographic aesthetic. The mood is quiet, warm, and solitary, the single flower given full compositional weight against the expansive glowing sky behind it.

This black-and-white photograph features a cluster of faded hydrangea flowers. The petals, once vibrant, now appear delicate and slightly wilted, capturing the transient beauty of nature’s cycle. The composition focuses on the intricate textures of the petals, with soft lighting that accentuates their paper-like quality. The background is blurred, creating a shallow depth of field that draws attention to the details of the hydrangea in the foreground. The contrast between light and shadow adds a sense of depth and nostalgia to the image. Dieses Schwarz-Weiß-Foto zeigt eine Ansammlung verblühter Hortensienblüten. Die einst lebendigen Blütenblätter wirken nun zart und leicht welk und fangen die vergängliche Schönheit des natürlichen Kreislaufs ein. Die Komposition konzentriert sich auf die feinen Texturen der Blütenblätter, die durch sanftes Licht betont werden und ihre papierartige Qualität hervorheben. Der Hintergrund ist unscharf, was eine geringe Schärfentiefe schafft und die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Details der Hortensie im Vordergrund lenkt. Der Kontrast zwischen Licht und Schatten verleiht dem Bild Tiefe und eine melancholische Note. Alt-Text generated by a LLM, supervised by a human!

Botanical Poetry, March 2026

Petals soft and wise,
Silent veins of stories told,
Time in bloom survives.

A gouache print depicting looking up at the sky in the woods, surrounded by sun-dappled redwood trees

This is a print of a gouache painting I made, looking up at the sky through redwood trees. This was a lot of fun to paint and want to create more of these :)

A close-up of several bright yellow daffodils with deep orange ruffled trumpet centers, also known as coronas. The flowers are captured from a side profile, showcasing their layered petals and sturdy green stems against a soft-focus background of green foliage and earthy soil.

A cluster of bright purple crocus flowers in full bloom, showing delicate petals that transition from deep violet at the edges to a lighter lavender near the center. The flowers feature prominent, slender orange-yellow stamens and are surrounded by thin, green leaves with a white stripe down the middle.

Convolvulus Arvensis - January Illustration 🌿
In the language of flowers, this flower represents bonding, attachment, tenacity, and loyalty, like a hug that doesn't want to let go.
#botanicalart #illustration

A quiet space for you to breathe.

"Faded Flowers" serves as a soft point of focus in a room. Photo transfers, dried pressed leaves & delicate color pencil details on a cradled wood panel, this piece captures a moment of preserved stillness.

The beauty of Daffodils is they reach toward the sun, bow in the shade & manage to still grow in darkness. 💛
