| Tina Close was born in Greenwich, CT in 1945. She began her self-taught career working directly from natural history subjects. Specimens gathered included botanicals, driftwood, insects, bones, lichen, mosses, feathers, and ancient shells. In the style of natural history illustration, these were painted to scale and with great detail. While painting hawthorn one day, she decided to add a butterfly. Finding the size and shape she was looking for, the colors were not quite right for the piece. Sh (showing 500 of 863 characters). |
