Botanical Paintings are my favorite pass-time. I have always been passionate about plants, when I first moved to a farm at the age of twelve I used to go out and collect bouquets and then identify all the flowers with botanical encyclopedias and paint each one until I knew pretty much every plant and it's medicinal properties by sight. Every time I move somewhere new I start the process again with the local flora. Needless to say I have a large collection of botanical paintings!
