Physostegia and Insect Visitors; 2018, 20 9/16 x 29 1/8 inches, colored pencils, graphite pencils and pastels. This is a composition contrasting an early and late flowering stem of Physostegia flowers. There were so many insects that utilized this plant over the growing season that I made a decision to include most of them in order to portray the many interactions between Physostegia and insects. The drawing evolved into a visual annual record of Physostegia insect activity occurring during the year 2018 for spring, summer and fall.
