Horseraddish MK II

Description

Hipperadix rufa, the Common Horseraddish. Once common across southern Europe and England it is now extinct. Over exploitation during the 17th centuary as a delicasy saw numbers plumit. The last confirmed record was in 1703.

For more detailed information on the Common Horseraddish please visit the original elsewhere in my gallery. The Horseraddish is special to me. After Evo it is my favourite original creature. I have always been proud of the original and now I have a new version to be proud of. I feel I have achieved one of my childhood goals which was to be able to draw convincingly realistic creatures which wouldn't look out of place in a field guide. The original also inspired a 'mandrake' challenge a few years ago and atracted Maxine to my gallery.



Done in watercolours on 10x14 inc 300gsm paper. You do know that Shelz is only an abreviation, right?
