Magnolia Seedpod

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of the Magnolia grandiflora, a majestic tree that graces our streets with its presence. As the late summer arrives, its scented flowers cast a spell upon the air, bewitching all who encounter their intoxicating aroma. Yet, it is the remarkable transformation that follows, in the form of a highly structured seedpod, that captured my artistic curiosity and compelled me to create not just one, but two drawings.

This particular seedpod, drawn at four times its usual size, reveals a world of astonishing details. As my pencil glides across the surface, the paper comes alive with the essence of this unique specimen. I am spellbound by the delicate hairs that adorn its surface, a testament to nature's meticulous craftsmanship. Through my artistry, I strive to capture not only its physical attributes but also the essence of its existence.

The resulting A3 graphite drawing, meticulously rendered stroke by stroke, encapsulates the magnificence of this seedpod. Professionally framed with the utmost care and attention to detail, it finds its rightful place within a sanctuary of art. The Hayseed double mat, carefully selected to complement its intricate beauty, cradles the drawing in a symphony of earthy tones. Encased within a 20mm Tasmanian Oak frame, the artwork radiates a sense of timeless elegance and grace.
