Abstract
A compilation of 1 drawing and 9 acrylic paintings that show the variety of native lilies in the Pacific Northwest and the complexities of flower parts under a microscope. A single pen drawing introduces the subject and each subsequent painting shows my improvement using acrylic paints. I wanted to grow my art skills and color theory while demonstrating the beauty I have witnessed while studying botany. The time it took to complete each piece ranged from around 3 to 6 hours.
