This is a watercolor of a (female)
European Pine cone. ( Botanical:
Strobilus)
The name cone derives from the fact
that the shape resembles a geometric
cone.
And that is what I personally like so
much in this watercolor!
I painted 4 of them in seasonal colors.
Here are the Winter and the Summer
version.
The blue purple one symbolizes
WINTER, the hot Red Yellow one
represents SUMMER.
Soon I'll download the Spring
and Fall version.
