Susan Headley van Campen

Tiger Lilies and Bluebonnets

Susan Headley van Campen's original lithograph, "Tiger Lilies and Bluebonnets" is printed upon fine, archival paper and with full, deckled margins as published in 1982 in an edition of two hundred and fifty impressions. This impression is an Artist Proof, printed before the regular edition and so noted by the artist along the lower left margin, “A.P., ed. 250”. It is pencil signed, dated and annotated by the artist along the lower margin. In both her watercolors and original prints, Susan van Campen often sets her floral studies against a pure white background. This intensifies the color and texture of each flower. The artist depicts two varieties of flowers here, the first group includes tiger lilies, also known as the 'Ditch Lily', and a host of other names in different parts of the world. The Tiger Lillie is a perennial with tall stalks that produces hairy stems covered with green, lance-shaped leaves and midsummer blooms with spotted fiery orange petals that curl backwards. Tiger Lilies are very easy to grow requiring little maintenance, not only beautiful and fragrant, they also have medicinal uses and most parts of the plant are edible. The second group of flowers are Bluebonnets, a species of Lupine, a genus of flowering plants in the legume family. Although Bluebonnets grow in other southern states, they are native to Texas. There are several varieties of bluebonnets in Texas and five of these are considered their state flower. They are known as the 'Sandy Land Bluebonnet', the 'Texas Bluebonnet', the 'Big Bend or Chisos Bluebonnet', the 'Annual Lupine" and the 'Dune Bluebonnet'. "Tiger Lilies and Bluebonnets", is a fine, original example of the floral and lithographic art created by the American artist, Susan Headley van Campen.
