The name written is not of the painter..

‘Venus Alibis’ could be an old botanical name or sub species for this plant. 

Thanks & Regards

[J.M. Garg]

I could not find any such botanical name of a plant.

[Mala Bajaj]

Same here... thats why I posted..

Arum maculatum

more likely

the arrowhead like leaf contortions in the painting are similar to Arum maculatum

spathe is whitish

this is an old herbal remedy

Culpeper's herbal published in 1649  has a section

Wikipedia shows many many names

some eluding to male female organs

venus in old name perhaps refers to it

and ALIBIS means among many meanings: a shield

the whitish spathe is perhaps the Alibis.

just my conjecture.

===

the reason I don't think it is Lasimorpha senegalensis Schott

the leaf macromorphology is different

spathe is more linear and has a violetish edge to the spathe

and is limited to African nations in central and western regions.

and old herbals I can consult do not talk of this plant

===

venus alibis points to an old or even ancient name

I cant find my pliny the elder books

when I do  we can search for this particular name

==

NOW MALA tell us what book did you find this picture in ?

Ushadi

Hi Ushadi,

Your assessment seems spot on!

The thing is that I paint watercolors. 

A friend of mine has requested me to paint 6 Botanicals for her new beach house. 

The designer selected a set of prints of which this was one. 

I have to write the titles too. 

So wanted to be absolutely sure. 

Thinking I will use ‘Arum Maculatum’

Check the attached pictures that I have to paint. 

Thank you all so much for the detailed explanations. 

Best regards,

Mala

Dear Mala

I am glad the information was useful.

I thought you had  a botany... citizen scientist kind of request, and so

I spent a great deal of my personal (little left over from looking after an aunt with dementia)

time on this case because Venus Alibis as a plant name smelled of Pliny the elder or his era.

I hope you have a good time painting them

and get a good remuneration for them.

good luck

[Mala Bajaj]

Dear Ushadi,

Thank you so much for your time....God bless you for your sense of duty.... not a joke looking after such people. 

Btw, I paint for fun and haven’t charged anybody anything yet. :)

Best,

Mala

[ushadi]

don't do it, Mala,  for free

esp if your are good at it

see etsy us site for monetizing

I have seen it happen a lot

property owners will impose in name of friendship

I see it a lot in  west Bengal

artists are asked cajoled shamed etc to give away their art

you must respect your art and hours

Dr Deepak Chopra says its exchange of energy

making art takes time and energy=== making money requires time and money

 

better still

keep your originals

and make Giclee prints

to give or sell

keep you copyright

so I hope you donot do ditto to dotto copy of those prints

look at google images and come up with your own

ang look at etsy esp art of an architect turned artist called Geninne D. Z latkis

enough said

Ushadi
