Synopsis
Over the years, artist Elizabeth Blackadder has sketched and painted every variety of plant that grows in her garden. While her watercolors are meticulously accurate, the graphic placing of the blooms, leaves, and stems and the bold expression of color far transcend the realm of botanical art. In Favourite Flowers, Blackadder's exquisite watercolors are collected for the first time. Accompanying the paintings is commentary by gardening author Deborah Kellaway, who considers each of the artist's favorite flowers: irises, poppies, tulips, lilies, and orchids. She also provides a history of each plant, its place in painting and in the garden, as well as brief cultivation notes. An irresistible gift book for lovers of art and the garden.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Elizabeth Blackadder (illustrator). This text is a collection of paintings of flowers by Elizabeth Blackadder. Gardening writer Deborah Kellaway provides commentary on the artist's favourite flowers - irises (the flower for which she is best known), poppies, tulips, lilies and orchids - and she writes shorter essays on hellebores, anemones and wild flowers, as well as the more exotic strelizia and banksia. She also considers the history of each plant and its place in painting and in the garden, as well as supplying brief cultivation notes. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001537246
