I’ve been brewing and marinating on this idea sinc

I’ve been brewing and marinating on this idea since the fall when I did my painting titled “Bracken," and I finally took the time to do it. I love the result, with its overall complexity, intense color, and the strong swirling design of the pods.

This painting is titled Dancing Seed Pods; it is 19″x25″ and painted in pastel. By #pollycastor #abstractart #seedpods #botanicalart #artforsaleoninstagram
