"Blue-Green Cell Cycle 5 is an original watercolor of a cell undergoing mitosis, or cell division. Starts with a single cell on the top left and goes clockwise, ending up with 2 daughter cells on the bottom left. All in soft but vivid shades of green and blue with yellow accents. Perfect for the lab or office, or as a gift for your favorite biologist or science teacher.

This painting was made using a wet-in-wet technique. After I draw a grid on the paper, I paint the squares and allow them to dry. Next, I re-wet a cell-shaped area, wait a few seconds, and then add a second color of wet paint. The paint “bleeds” naturally, creating either a “cell” with awesome natural fractal patterns or a big old blob. If the former occurs, I wait a few more seconds and add another color – the nucleus. Then I do this a few more times.
