This image is a watercolor botanical illustration of a Cucurbita foetidissima.

This fine example of botanical art is a wild squash, also called "Buffalo Gourd." It is common to the southwest dry areas and was sketched on location at the Denver Botanic Gardens in Colorado. It grows wild in many locations and the squash is edible.

My name is Karla Beatty. I am a painter and an illustrator for books, magazines, and the internet. My work covers a wide range of topics: landscapes, portraits, gardens, botanicals, travel, urban sketching, and more. Most of my work is in oils, acrylics, watercolors, graphite, carbon dust, and digital images. Much of my art is connected to travel adventures and experiences. A good portion of my paintings are created on location or plein air. Some of my work is from photographs where I paint, draw, sculpt, and spend way more hours than I intend to on the computer making digital art. All images ©2000-2015 Karla Beatty. All rights reserved.
