Foliage can be magnificent

Why flowers only seems to be most taken, foliage can be just as beautiful. and magnificent I was really amazed by the wonderful painting named Alocasia and the Sago Palm, in a recent NHK programme feature on Tanaka Isson, an artist known as Japan's "Gauguin," moved to the subtropical island of Amami Oshima at the age of 50 after years of struggle. He then spent highly productive years there painting its striking flora and fauna until his death at the age of 69. In order to follow in Isson's footsteps, Peter Barakan travels to Amami Oshima, where, in addition to many unusual biological treasures, he discovers how the distinctive cultural traditions of Amami Oshima were shaped by a history of hardship.on a painter (extracted from NHK) . He captures many wonderful works with foliage. So unfortunate that his work is only recognised upon his death. Taken with Fuji XE-3 with XC 50-230mm
