This online show by NESBA member artists will run online from December 21st until March 19th, 2023 and focus on botanical portraits of plants in winter. Their palette may be muted and subtle, but their stories are still complex and fascinating, especially to botanical artists. Twigs and bare branches, seeds and seedpods, naked trees, next year’s leaf buds, dried grasses and leaves, and evergreens populate the winter landscape waiting for your artistic expression.
We look forward to showcasing our members’ beautiful artwork and showing the subtle beauty of the Winter season.
