Trees with Leaves

This painting features an irregular center with a group of trees with real, pressed leaves surrounding. Images of animals, birds, and tree blooms surround that to create a circular pattern of scenes. The leaves are extremely durable and applied and fixed with matte medium. Inspired by Herbariums which still contain samples collected by Lewis and Clark. Wonderful resource for botanist and artist. This painting is on regular canvas stretchers and would need to be framed for display.
