Escargot Begonias
6"x8" oil on Belgian linen, mounted on archival panel
"We are made to persist. That's how we find out who we are." - Tobias Wolff
Swirls and whirls of leaf shapes - the only way I know how to describe this plant. I was looking to buy one last year, and the only nursery I knew that had them sold out. This year I was ready! I knew if I wanted one of these, I had to get it while the "gettin' was good"! Sure enough, my friend went to go buy one a week later, and they were all gone. Funny name for a plant, but it does swirl in pattern like a snail shell, bigger and bigger. Hoping I can figure out how to propagate these so I can have some more!
I've found a frame that looks fabulous on this- black with a gold inset, I'll need to order this size. Price is $350 for framed painting and includes shipping to the continental USA.

Thanks so much Diane! Those are the visual things that truly excite me- so finding plants like this one is especially fun!
