Dracunculus vulgaris

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dracunculus vulgaris(Dragon Arum)
Dracunculus vulgaris
Binomial name
Dracunculus vulgaris Schott

Male flowers (at top)
Female flowers (at the bottom)

Dracunculus vulgaris is a species of aroid in the genus Dracunculus and is known variously as theDragon Arum, the Black Arum, the Voodoo Lily, the Snake Lily, the Stink Lily, the Black Dragon, the Black Lily, Dragonwort, and Ragons. In Greece, part of its native range, the plant is calledDrakondia, the long spadix being viewed as a small dragon hiding in the spathe.^[1]

It is endemic to the Balkans, extending as far as Greece, Crete, and the Aegean Islands, and also to the south-western parts of Anatolia.^[1]

I absolutely love the look of this unusual flower.   I painted one years ago. I have painted this one in reds and with a palette knife. The painting is framed and signed by me.

This oil painting was part of a challenge. We used a limited palette, which is always challenging.  I used big brush strokes and bright color. My painting looks like it is at night with the moon shining but not showing. The colors are still there but I feel there is mystery surrounding the scene. I hope you like it and will comment.

title  Cypress Trees  Textured and Raised

medium oils on canvas

Size  36" x 18" and Framed

Purchase  for $800.00 +  45.00 Shipping

This painting is painted and has modeling paste to make the big cypress in the front raised from the canvas. It has grooves and raised textures along the trunk of the tree.  I must have painted that tree at least four times.   I framed this a a barnyard wood frame and the whole thing is very heavy.
