G Agave

Painted completely within Inkscape - April, 2021

Printed on 100% cotton paper from Red River Paper meeting archival standards

Each winter I need to bring in our agave plant from the garden.

Each winter the darn, awful, mean, points poke me when I move, or periodically water it.

My good friend Lee bought a home in Nevada. His wife calls agaves “meanie plants.”

After putting up with the plant for so long, I looked closely at the shapes of the leaves.

Each one has a beautiful curve - so I opted to create a semi-abstraction of the plant I love/hate.

I originally created this in April, 2020. Like many artists, I returned to the piece to see if it could be improved.

Fortunately on a computer, I can pull up the older painting, and make a bunch of revisions without having to redo the entire piece.
