Red Chard (cells magnified x250)

Artist

Karen Taylor

Description

Red chard was the first plant I painted in my Cultivated series. It started as an experiment: painting abstract paintings based on crops from my allotment garden, under a microscope.

I didn’t use a coloured stain when I looked at this under the microscope. There were so many pretty pink streaks through the piece of stem I was examining, it would have been a shame to cover them up.
