Betty’s Nature Photography & Nature-inspired art

For ages, I yearned to get really close up to the flowers, lichens, and insects that I would photograph.
Then I bought myself a microscope and macro-lens, and this helped me to zoom right in!
I then started painting from these close-up photos, and now teach courses on Macro Botanical Illustration!
Check out my favourite macro-photos and nature-inspired art below.

In these photos, I’m nearing the end of making 2 x Fly Agaric mushrooms from clay. I wanted these to anatomically correct, and so used dozens of macro photos of real Fly Agarics to get the detail right.
