Rattlesnake Master - painted in a wet-on-wet acrylic style from reference photos taken on a walk with a friend I met through a native plant group. This grassland species was growing in an undisturbed roadside ditch alongside several other native plants. Blooming from May to September, each golf-ball-like head is actually made up of many tiny flowers that attract pollinators. The plant’s name comes from an old, unproven belief that it could cure snake bites. Drought-tolerant and uniquely shaped, it would make a great addition to a native plant garden. Painted on standard canvas, ready to frame.
