Description
A tradescantia spills from a hanging planter, its pointed leaves striped in pink, silver, and green trailing down in a loose cascade. Small three-petaled flower clusters and pink buds tuck in among the foliage. The plant is drawn on warm kraft paper, the brown ground letting both the pinks and the pale silvers hold their color rather than washing out.
The plant is drawn in acrylic paint pen. Its leaves take their sharpest color from the variegation — the pink and cream running lengthwise against the green.
Nadia has lost more than one of these. Here’s a tradescantia that outlives the watering schedule.
