The Sketchbook
A collection of drawings, botanical illustrations, and watercolor paintings — works that came from the same patient hand and careful eye that named the wild grasses of the American South.
The botanical plates show the meticulous, almost meditative attention of a working scientist; the watercolor reveals an artist's freer hand. Together they trace the same instinct — to look closely, and to set down what is seen.
The same eye that learned the smallest grasses of the southern pinelands by name also reached for a brush, a pencil, a pen — to render what it had taken the time to see.
More to come. Please check back as additional drawings, sketches, and paintings are added to the collection.
