I love to arrange seed structures from the woods and the garden into bouquets all winter long.  I also love to see their architecture in stark contrast against a fresh robe of snow.  Examining plant's seed structures closely is a wonderful way to understand the symmetry (or asymmetry) of the plant.  You can peer at these structures and ask yourself questions like "How many regular parts do I see?  Where are the seeds held?  Do I think these seeds are dispersed when breezes blow, or the seed head tips over or breaks, or through the gut of birds or small mammals?"  
 
50$ of this sale will go directly to the Seed Savers Exchange.
 
Original painting from the Ephemera calendar series (2016-2018).  Black walnut ink and pen on paper.  Approx 9.5 " x 12.5".
 
For a limited time!!!  WHOLESALE FRAME OPTION:
If you would like to upgrade your purchase to the framed piece, for a limited time I'll be offering a flat 80$ framing fee.  This is a wholesale framing price; I will use my local framer's chop shop for artists to frame the work for you before shipping.  After adding this painting to your cart, find the "80$ Frame" item in my shop, and add to your cart.  
 
If you do not elect the 80$ frame option, piece will ship flat, unframed, between board.
