Enfleurage Nocturnelle

My third entry to Month of Fear 2020 for the subject Supernatural. There's A LOT that comes to mind for that word, but I tried to restrain myself from becoming too complex. My first entry had bees and I wanted to play with the subject more but ended up with only flowers. I was given one of those 3D pens that melt PLA filaments, and one of those was glow-in-the-dark, so I decided to enhance my simple subject of lady with flacon with it. I might have looked first what colour it had because I tracked down fragrant tuberosa flowers as having the perfect greenish-white colour for the traditional glow-in-the-dark plastic, but it turned out mine is transparent! I "drew" the flowers and swirls on a glass plate and glued them to the painting with clear medium. The canvas is an acrylics pouring on wood. I've been enjoying working on those colourful background, even if the uneven surfaces can be tricky. You can see the small cracks of the thick paint layers in some places. The glossy varnish has made some tiny foamy bubbles around the fluorescent filaments and flowers.

20×30cm acrylics and glow-in-the-dark plastic on acrylic pouring on wood. It is available for purchase in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/888466353/enfleurage-nocturnelle-month-of-fear

Gesteck aus Tuberose (Polyanthes), rosa Nelke (Dianthus) und gelber Blume mit Fliege Barbara Regina Dietzsch (1706 - 1783, German)

Barbara was a Bavarian painter and engraver known for her still lifes, and she also painted birds and shells. Her works sold in Germany, England, Holland, and France. They were collected in the Netherlands and England. Additionally, although Dietzsch herself did not illustrate textbooks, her works have been included in German natural history books. Christoph Jacob Trew, a physician and botanist, was a patron of botanical art in Nuremberg, including that of the Dietzsch family. Her work was influential on artist Ernst Friedrich Carl Lang. Germaine Greer describes Dietzsch's work as "exact and linear, as one might expect of designs for engraving, but in her more ambitious flower pieces she exhibited a conservatism of approach which was fairly antiquarium."
