Description
A 4 panel abstraction of magnified plant spores from a genus commonly known as saltbush. This painting illustrates how spores can develop into a new organism through a biological life cycle. The application of heavily pigmented watercolor through non traditional means on 300# Arches cold press emphasizes the evolution of the species.
This genus is quite variable and widely distributed. It includes many desert and seashore plants as well as plants of moist environments. The spores are a reproductive structure that is adapted for dispersal and surviving for extended periods of time in unfavorable conditions.
