Detail One of Mayapple Woodland, 'Mayapple Flowers'; 2018; 10 1/4 x 10 inches; colored pencils, graphite pencils and pastels. Stages of Mayapple flower buds are drawn with overlapping and transparent stems and leaves in this detail from ‘Mayapple Woodland’. Christmas fern is illustrated in the background and fronds are repeated to form a pattern. Lines are used to accentuate flower shapes rather than delineate flower form. Pastel colors fill the shapes and suggest the Spring season.
