Dracula Celosia. Original Botanical Watercolor

Dracula Celosia. Original Botanical Watercolor. A study of dark crimson celosia, suspended between botanical observation and baroque intensity.
Velvety folds of the crested bloom deepen from saturated carmine to near-black burgundy, contrasted by muted olive and wine-tinted foliage.
The composition emphasizes the sculptural density of the inflorescence and the vertical strength of the stem.
Original watercolor on 100% cotton paper with natural edges. Signed and dated.
