Cartão Watercolor barberry greeting card blank inside

Creeping Barberry (Mahonia repens, also called Oregon Grape) grows wild in the White Mountains of Arizona. This original design was sketched from nature and hand-painted in watercolor. When I first started getting to know the plants around me, I also decided to "draw to learn" rather than "learn to draw". My goal is to capture the color, beauty, and personality of the native plants in the Mountain West. Artist: Karen Suedmeier
