"Borage" Original Watercolor Painting
Title: Borage
Year: 2024
Watercolor and guache on Paper
Size: 8×10.5 inches, framed to 11×14
To be honest, I had never heard of Borage before illustrating “Just One Comfrey”. And although it’s a beautiful plant, it is challenging to paint with watercolors! Mainly because of all of it’s tiny, protective hairs. To paint the illusion of hairs, I used an acrylic white after painting the flowers. Borage is a great plant to attract pollinators and so I also painted a Carder Bee.
This original watercolor painting is featured in the book, “Just One Comfrey”, a Counting book by Wisconsin Food Forests.The book is scheduled to be released July, 2025.It features edible plants that grow well in Wisconsin’s climate.Some are edible for human consumption, while others are edible only for critters and birds that call Wisconsin home.

It is custom matted with a baby blue mat.
