Spring in.

SOUTHERN CHARM Springtime in Alabama brings a flush of fresh flowers, myriad species adding their colorful profusion of petals to fields, hillsides and yards all over the state. Auburn-based artist Andrew G. Lee recently captured some of this natural beauty in a series of botanical watercolors he painted on commission for Southern designer extraordinaire James T. Farmer. Farmer chose the blooms that would work best in a client’s renovation of a historic property, including soft, heavy hydrangeas, sunny jessamine and showy pink camellias. “He was intent on capturing some of his favorite Southern plant species and wildlife to adorn the newly renovated halls of a stunning plantation home in Lee County,” Lee said. “It was truly inspiring work but also challenging.” The original 16 watercolors hang in that home, but you can add the cheery florals to your décor by purchasing limited-edition prints of the originals. The 9 x 12 prints are fine-art reproductions, personally printed, singed and numbered by Lee using fade-resistant archival inks on quality cold-press watercolor paper and are exclusively available for order on Lee’s website. andrewleedesigns.com
