"PHILODENDRON FANTASY"
Ink
on Fabriano cold pressed paper, Approx. 22" x 18". ©
1992
The subject for this drawing is a tangle of giant philodendrons near
Orlando, Florida. These plants are the stuff of which nightmares are
made. Cousins to the unassuming house plant, they have woody stalks
as big as your forearm, and cover the ground like coiling snakes. This
drawing is rendered in a combination of contour, hatching, stipple--and
just about everything between--to convey the hot midday light and subtle
details.
"Philodendron Fantasy" received the award of excellence for
drawing in the 37th Biennial National Competition of the National League
of American Penwomen, Cork Gallery, Lincoln Center, New York. It is
part of the artist's collection.
