David Morrison<\/a> continues his hyperrealistic explorations<\/a> of flowers, seeds, and plants, capturing the intricacies and alluring textures found throughout nature in lush colored pencil. Delicate, fine lines and smooth gradients prevail in the artist\u2019s drawings, which present the organic subject matter as if it were bathed in light. Rendered in a soft haze, shadows of individual fronds and nodes add a deceptive sense of depth to the two-dimensional works.<\/p>\n

The pieces shown here are some of Morrison\u2019s latest, and you can find more on his Instagram<\/a> and via Garvey | Simon<\/a>, where he\u2019s represented.<\/p>\n
