While the green isn’t the same as the real plant in nature, this 4-prong with berries American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) painting looks beautiful in the Ozark pigments!

Right here on our property we are blessed with a variety of native medicinal plants. Wild Ozark is the only certified ginseng nursery in the state of Arkansas. I’ll do more portraits ginseng, and of all of the plants that thrive in the deep woods habitat of ginseng. This one is the first.

Pigment sources

Stones

The green, yellow, brown, black, and red came from various colors of sandstones that grow wild here on our land.  Samples of the pigments are included on the frame (the price on this piece includes the frame and shipping to US addresses):
