The nest was built with the assistance of numerous students and other volunteers using 80 tons of pine logs harvested from the local Oconee County pine plantation and hundreds of bamboo stocks that were carefully organized into a circular structure dug in gardens rich red clay.

Hoefnagel, a self-taught artist from the Netherlands, added illuminations to Bocskay’s vast selection of contemporary and historical scripts, completed some three decades earlier (1561-62) when the Hungarian was … Continue reading "The Model Book of Calligraphy – An Illuminated Masterpiece (1591 – 1596)"

A quick weekend trip to Belgium took us to Antwerp, Diest, and Tongeren. In Antwerp we came across a small garden ("Kruidtuin" or herb garden). Dating from the early 1800s, it is an interesting little oasis and it was nice to see some of the early spring plants blooming. It's not a dainty recreation of an 1800's garden, as this modern sculpture shows.
Anna Mason is a botanical painter who very quickly found commercial success as an artist following her successes exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show. Having only painted professionally since 2008, she is now featured regularly in Artists & Illustrators Magazine, and is fast becoming recognised as one of the finest tutors of botanical painting in the country, offering both online courses and tuition in person. Anna Mason’s ‘Watercolour with WOW’ set is now available to order at Jackson’s Art Supplies, and contains all Anna’s essential watercolours for painting exquisite flower paintings that possess that added ‘WOW’ factor. Her exhibition with Tom Stephens ‘Tropical Splendour’ runs at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida, until the end of February 2014. Anna Mason Lisa: In the ‘About’ section of your website you mention that you only started to paint professionally in 2008, taking the brave step of quitting the day job. What was the biggest motivation for you making that decision? Anna: Like so many people, I’d taken the “sensible” decision to pursue academic study, not art, after school and had ended up in a job in local government management. It was OK, but when I began this style of painting ...

Ernst Haeckel was a turn of the century German biologist that changed the world with his scientific illustrations. Trained in many scientific fields, he not only named multitudes of species, he illustrated them as well. Wikipedia describes him as" an eminent German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species". Kunstformen der Natur, "Artforms of Nature" is the book of his intricate illustrations. Haeckel's illustrations of invertebrates influence the design world even today. This is a classic Finish 1960's Eero Aarnio mushroom lounge chair. Even basic shapes are mimicked in design. These military insignia are a perfect example of the influence of nature. Haeckel's work, as a design element, is still fresh... These drawings provide endless kaleidoscopic combinations of design. It is easy to see how rosettes and baroque scrollwork are based in the nature that Ernst Haeckel illustrated for us. Haeckel's illustrations can be found in his original book form or through reprinted copies.
