A collaborator of Pedro Almodovar's, Argentine-born artist Juan Gatti has credits that include graphic designer for films such as Volver, The Skin I Live In and The Flower of My Secret. Based in Madrid, the artist creates brightly-colored collages that complement the Spanish director's color-saturated cinematography and penchant for visual flourishes. Gatti's collages in the series "Ciencias Naturales" ("Natural Sciences" in English) turn the human anatomy into a canvas for his baroque, tropical arrangements that lie somewhere on the spectrum between still life and portrait. Take a look at some of Juan Gatti's collages after the jump.

I saw the idea for the skirt on a card made by Jessica Yoder at countyscrapfarmgirl(dot)blogspot(dot)com isn't it adorable!
Yesterday, at lunch, the Spring Island Landscape Ecologist, whom I share office space with, asked me if I'd like to see one of our resident's garden.... I grabbed my sketch bag before he even finished his sentence :) We were only there for 30 minutes, 20 of which I painted like a mad woman :) Once back at the office, I added the lettering and little Otto. I hope to return back to this garden in a few weeks. Autumn is a splendid time for blooming wildflowers and Ann's garden is loaded with native wildflowers. She has one small butterfly garden area that contains some non-natives... thus the Mexican Cosmos.. but otherwise it's filled with wonderful grasses and every type of wildflower you can imagine. This is one of the gardens that Spring Island's Native Plant Project features for garden club tours. Our next Native Plant Sale is October 20th. If you are in the lowcountry area of South Carolina, do stop by. The island is open to the public that day!
In November of 2010, I discovered a Witchhazel shrub/tree along the tree line on the 10th hole of our neighborhood golf course. It was the yellow, thread-like twisted flowers that caught my eye. This graceful, delicate, small tree was loaded with flowers and a few very colorful leaves that had a mind to linger a bit longer on the branches. For those who are new to my posts, the 10th hole has a treasure-trove of trees. So far, I've identified 30 different species.... and those trees run right along the cart path! I'm sure, when I get my snake boots and walk into the woods a bit, I'll find even more. This patch of woods is a classic bottomland hardwood forest because of its variety of trees, shrubs and rich, moist soil. About 15 feet in from the cart path, shallow water is always present. Thus, I want snake boots! In last year's Witchhazel research, I learned that fruit forms on the branches the year following the flowers and will mature in October - November. I've been eagerly awaiting fruit development. In early June I began to notice fruit bearing trees were changing. Where Sparkleberry shrub/tree's flowers were in May, now tiny berries are appearing. The Hickory trees are sporting nuts, Red Cedars are decorated with their delightfully blue berries...... and, the Witchhazel tree has fruit :) The pen sketch and some of the color was added on location. I didn't quite have enough time as golfers made the turn onto #10 a tad earlier than I had hoped. So, I drove the golf cart further down 10 to an area that had a good sized spot where I could pull off to the side and continue my discoveries without fear of being bopped on the head with a golf ball. Stay tuned for my next page :)
