I am definitely having a small (er, make that GIANT) love affair with illustration this week. I keep coming across such delicate, intricate examples. Like Herbiers by artist Joanna Concejo...
I found this gorgeous image via Pinterest, but have yet to find the artist or origin. Investigation pending...
And three (of the many) illustrations from Historia Naturalis Palmarum by F.P. Von Martius...
I could stare at botanical illustrations for hours. Every time one looks, one sees more detail. Such perfect observation! Every little petal, every little texture. I think it teaches us much about observing other beautiful things in nature, too - so much detail all waiting to be admired.
