Description
The Cyclamen is a European plant of the Primrose Family. They symbolize love and tenderness and maternal love for our ancestors due to the trait they have of having an upside down flower with the stamens and pistils protected from rain, as they naturally bloom from Dec through February when it is often rainy. The hardy variety can bloom in colder climates for color in a winter garden, but most of the ones we buy at this time of year for our homes are tropical and cannot survive in our colder winter climates outside. Next to poinsettias they are my favorite winter flower.
My photograph of a cyclamen on the windowsill from a few years ago inspired this drawing/painting. I started off with some neurographic lines in ink, added colored pencil, and created a more traditional artwork resembling a stained glass window. I love stained glass and have this displayed on my studio window with the light shining through. I have to say it lends some cheer to a dreary and rainy November day. I could see this making a nice puzzle for winter.This is my own drawing done with ink and prismacolor premier colored pencils on drawing paper. This work is inspired by the neurographic technique developed by Pavel Piskarev 2014.
