My chosen plant is endangered San Francisco Lessingia Germanium. It is native to the sand dunes of the San Francisco Presidio and the sand dunes on San Bruno Mountain. I had a very small part in helping to restore its dune habitat at the Presidio when the only expertise needed was muscle. In the painting the Lessingia are entangled and competing with a fanciful arrangement of colorful but invasive flora. I included the Myrtle’s Silverspot Butterfly also endangered because it thrives around Lessingia but its larvae are very vulnerable to the pesticides sometimes used to help keep invasive vegetation at bay. I had to add the graceful but very invasive “Naked Ladies” (Amaryllis Belladonna) because to me they signal “August,” grateful to see something predictable about 2020.

Nicolai larsen, "Amazing Stories", acrylic on canvas, $250. With all the time "at home" I've reverted back to my childhood (or so my wife says). It was all science fiction and
dinosaurs back then. AMAZING STORIES was the very first sci-fi magazine published.This painting is a humoristic tribute
to that genre. I really miss the art center!
