‘‘Botanical Liverpool’ series: Painting No.5

“Rhododendron - Black Pearl”

Original watercolour on Arches Smooth paper.

Size 50cm x 50cm.

Part of a series of paintings of significant and iconic plants from across the Liverpool region.

The paintings will be exhibited in 2025.

'Rhododendron Black Pearl' is part of a collection of works depicting heritage botanicals across the Liverpool region. The piece is painted as part of a residency at Knowsley Hall estate to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the year of the birth of the 13th Earl of Derby and his significant contribution to natural history, including his patronage of artist Edward Lear.
The artwork seeks to bring into focus the incredible detail and beauty of a small section of the much larger plant, one which can be enjoyed in many parks and gardens, often with prolific growing habits filling huge volumes with colour.

There will be some limited edition prints available.
