and like so many other life-saving plants

Foxglove

Foxglove, also known as Digitalis, is an old companion plant that followed Europeans to America. We share a long history, full of fancy and close to the heart. - Nancy Boudreau

Here are links to Wikipedia and Botanical.com that tell story of our long acquaintance.

This drawing was created using Prismacolor pencil on paper, a long-time favorite of mine. All the drawings of this set of sixteen, are 4.5" x 4.5", are under cream-colored mats and framed in honey-colored maple, ready to hang. Each framed piece measures 16.5" x 16.5". The series, which was completed in 1997, is for sale as a set for $3200. They are made available to you directly from the artist.

Enjoy the show, not the snow!
