I hope this painting refracts the lights I saw sparkling off these glossy leaves! For now, I have to draw what I don’t know, but soon I will find out what all of these species are. For technical accuracy, this project would have included a full year of botanical research supported by observing through all seasons, but I’m glad for the artistic freedom I’m using to push out these pictures before fully understanding them!
