| I must share with you something special that came in my email. An artist, John Fitzgerald, requested that I place his web site link in the Resource section. I receive many requests like this every week and many do not fit the informational qualities I seek for that section. John's did not fit but I was immediately hooked! From my correspondence with John I cannot tell you much about John at this point or how he works but I am hoping he will reveal more on seeing this. I believe he is English, currently lives in Japan, and has travelled to Australia. See if you can see where I have picked up some of these clues from his web site and see why I am entranced with his art work. The tree image on Botanique's home page is also from John Fitzgerald's collection. |

Another great artistic find! Check out the wares on Sierra Nature Prints. The owner/operator, Peggy Edwards-Carkeet is a freelance natural science illustrator. Besides her own work, she features work by other botanical illustrators whom she admires. Having dabbled at this type of illustrating in college I appreciate the diligence involved in Peggy's artform. Awesome! |

Rufus Swain from Wilson Rose Garden sent the following photograph, showing the "Struggle to Survive." He encountered this wild flower growing in its rugged environment on a nature trail in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Rufus has recently sent in "War of the Rose" and "Baby Mockingbirds." Thank you, Rufus, for sharing these great photos.
