Postcard (Magnolia Tree Study)

I drew this magnolia tree en plein air, working directly from nature to capture its graceful form. The soft, atmospheric detail brings out the quiet beauty of the magnolia—its dark green leaves and gentle presence rendered in the intimate scale that defines this work. This drawing, done on a Birmingham art museum postcard, reflects my commitment to observing nature firsthand. The reverse side features the museum's architectural postcard image, adding a layer of cultural context to the piece. It's a perfect addition for collectors who appreciate botanical art and the immediacy of plein air practice. 6x4
