Finally breaking down to tackle the complicated curves and twists of these super interesting plants. I really love the ghostly gray/green color of the leaves.
My subject is an Air Plant or more properly named: Epiphyte. An epiphyte is a type of plant that grows upon another plant (such as a tree) non-parasitically or sometimes upon some other object.
Im working from a Tillandsia xerographica species of bromeliad. They can grow quite large and flower as well. The example I'm painting from is about 8 inches in diameter. After finishing with the painting he will be stuck in a tree outside.

Painting (with a tiny brush) begins.
I'll post the finished painting soon.
