Helleborus ‘Dark and Handsome’ – Original Botanical Watercolor

A study of Helleborus ‘Dark and Handsome’, a striking cultivar known for its velvety plum-purple flowers and early-season blooms.
The composition highlights the contrast between deep, cool-toned petals and luminous yellow stamens, capturing the quiet elegance of one of the garden's earliest flowers. The restrained palette and layered watercolor washes emphasize the plant’s subtle beauty and sculptural form.
