Limited edition of 10

One of seven paintings in my series on planetary alchemy. Each planetary sphere is paired with medicinal plants which compliment its archetypal energy.

Mars plants: Sumac, Echinacea, Devils Club, Poke, Blackberry, Wild indigo, Coffee

The plants of Mars, red iron planet of warrior energy, exhibit intensity with serrated leaf margins, sharp pointed structures, thorns, prickles and needles. They embody a dominating presence or grow in aggressive patterns exampled by invasive species. Mars plants are rousing blood movers in the circulatory system, indicated by the color red or purple.

Each print is accompanied with a poem by William Keisel.
