    Fantastic lens. Love seeing all of this info in one place. I took some botanical art courses a few years ago and loved it. I have been plugging away ever since. Looking forward to continuing this wonderful art form!

    I took a botanical watercolor class through Community Ed in my town. I thought it would be those little trays that I remembered from Kindergarten and would be relatively "easy". I was so wrong. It was tough! It takes a lot of patients and practice. It's also very relaxing and rewarding!

    thought you might be interested in this botanical art site-http://www.mccunecollection.org/henry_evans.html.
    It is the McCune Collection's online exhibit of Henry Evans (1918-1990) botanical prints. Additional botanical portfolios will be added in the future.

    What an amazing resource for botanical artists. I am truly impressed. 5 * and I have lensrolled you to my lens on Flowers and Flora of Hawaii and Best Hawaii Botanical Gardens. Will you be adding any tropical categories here?

    Very well done and thank you. I will be back to read more. It is too much to absorb at one sitting.

    I love botanical art. I did watercolors of flowers while getting my art degree many years ago and always wished I could study botanical art technique. I joined a couple of botanical/natural history art listservs when the 'Net was new and that scared me away, though. Way too precise for me. :) Great lens! 5 *
