STORY BEHIND THE ART OF ROSE MARIE JAMES

21st Annual International

American Society of Botanical Artists at Wave Hill

 

Gustavia: Fairchild Botanical Garden

Gustavia superba

 

This leaf was found at Fairfield Gardens in Miami during the 2015 ASBA Conference, carefully wrapped in bubble wrap, and carried on the airplane back to New York. I wasn’t sure at the time if it would survive the journey since it had to be stowed in the overhead compartment.


I fell for the bigness of it and the challenge of painting something that large on vellum.
