Spent today doing #botanicalillustrations of #grasses. This one is Bermuda grass #Cynodon dactylon in progress. Illustrating grasses is my happy place, so I'm very glad to have a commission to paint three species this month. #poaceae #graminaceae #sciart #botanicalart

My #botanicalillustrations on FSC's Guide to #Waterside #flowers (pub 2024). Seeing my #sciart illustrations in context is still a thrill, I love that FSC fold-out guides can be taken into the field to id plants & animals. When work's shrunk for repro. it looks so much sharper & more jewel like!

For #artadventcalendar day 16 i thought we'd have an #apple. This variety is called Knight Bishop. I've painted #botanicalillustrations of several sorts this year, local to me in the borders between Wales and England. Learning apple anatomy and terminology has been fascinating. #sciart #🐡

For the last 24th day of #artadventcalendar here's #Japanese #rose #rosarugosa.
It's has become an #invasivespecies in the UK, albeit a beautiful one. Many of my #botanicalillustrations are non-native plants, it's vital to remember who introduced them. The plant is never at "fault", we are. #sciart

Grasses are one of my favourite #sciart subjects, so this was a dream job. Their variety and tiny flower details are a constant source of joy to me.
