The third flower in a series of mixed-medium paintings of "animal flowers," this painting is a whimsical combination of the images of seahorses as petals of a blooming exotic flower. 

 

Using watercolors, acrylic paints and inks, pastels, and blending chalks, Lady Van Tiger created this unique painting using some of the tiniest of paintbrushes!

 

Featured as the premiere artwork of a novelty book, The Painted Mermaid, The Seahorse Flower is a memorable image created to pay homage to the sea animal we know as the seahorse.

 

"I have always marveled at the delicate structures of the seahorse's physical nature," says the artist. "When you see them hovering in the water, they seem such fantastical creatures."
