EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting watercolor painting depicts the elegant and captivating Ipomoea purpurea, commonly known as the Morning Glory or Purple Morning Glory. Painted by the skilled hand of Arthur Harry Church on September 26, 1903, this beautiful illustration showcases the intricate details of this flowering plant in all its Victorian glory. The Morning Glory is a member of the Convolvulaceae family, which is part of the larger group of Angiosperms, Dicotyledons, or Eudicots. This flowering plant, also known as bindweed, is characterized by its large, heart-shaped leaves and its stunning, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom in various shades of pink, purple, and blue. The Morning Glory is a climbing plant that can grow up to 15 feet tall, making it a popular choice for gardeners and nature enthusiasts alike. Arthur Harry Church's exquisite watercolor painting captures the delicate beauty of the Morning Glory's petals, which unfurl in the morning and close at night. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the painting transport us back to the 19th century, when botanical illustrations were a popular means of documenting and celebrating the natural world. Church's use of watercolor techniques adds depth and texture to the painting, bringing out the subtle variations in color and form of the Morning Glory's petals and leaves. The painting also showcases the artist's mastery of shading and perspective, creating a three-dimensional effect that makes the Morning Glory seem to leap off the page. Overall, this stunning watercolor painting of the Morning Glory by Arthur Harry Church is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world through art.
