The Art of Botanical Illustration
A couple of christmas' ago, the hostess of the Orphan's Christmas Lunch I went to confessed that she was obsessed with sugar tongs and a particular collection of Royal Copenhagen china Given she was 27 and working at one of australia's best private contemporary art galleries, with a personal specialty in neon art, all the guest had a laugh at her very nanna-esque obsession. Well, time to confess, mine is botanical illustration. I find the illustrations much more expressive, beautiful and representative than any photograph. The Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne have curated an interesting collection here.
