Lady’s Mantle original painting

22” x 28” oil on canvas
Painted in 2020 of my dear friend and muse. This painting is symbolic of Hermetic Alchemy and traditional plants that are revered in such lore; rose, datura, mugwort, lemon balm, and Lady's Mantle. Lady's Mantle in latin is called 'Alchemia' or the little alchemist and is particularly important to alchemists because it naturally expels water on its leaves, giving the experimenter perfectly distilled water.
