This painting features a blooming trillium, photographed at Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge in north Alabama. Named for their sets of three—three leaves and three petals—trilliums are a classic spring ephemeral. Painted in detail, the composition draws from a shallow depth-of-field photo, with soft bokeh leaves and an atmospheric background. These early bloomers support forest-floor pollinators like ants, bees, flies, and beetles. Ants also play an important role by dispersing the seeds. Trilliums grow very slowly, so it's important to leave them in place and never pull them from the wild. Painted with professional artist-quality acrylics on deep gallery-wrapped canvas, the piece is varnished for protection and comes ready to hang—no framing needed.
