About this work

This painting shows a single aloe plant with thick, pointed leaves fanning out from the center. The leaves are a pale green with a slight blue tint near the edges. At the top, a tall, yellow flower spike rises straight up against a plain light background. The artist used watercolor to keep the colors soft and natural-looking. The plant fills most of the space, making it the only focus. Next, check out how artists use *watercolor*.
