More about Alchemical Still Life Illustration

A watercolor illustration worked from own hand rendered pen and ink drawing, depicting a still life of alchemical ingredients on a wooden board. A large, stone mortar with decorative etchings is centered, filled with small, light-colored pellets and a wooden pestle. Wisps of steam rise from the mortar. To the left of the mortar, a green, spiky fruit resembling an artichoke or conifer cone rests amidst green foliage and delicate white flowers. To the right, a clear glass bottle with an ornate label reading "MAGICA" stands beside several white garlic bulbs. Small purple flowers, berries, and scattered dried leaves are spread across the wooden board and the pale background.
