Members of The Society of Botanical Artists (SBA) have graciously responded to the Ask The Artist Q&A questions. Questions were presented to all artists. Each artist had the option to answer (or not answer) each question. You can jump into the Q&A by clicking on any one of the links below.
We would like to bring attention to the fact that one of our readers submitted questions from her home in rural Texas. She seized the opportunity to communicate with other artists and took advantage of the opportunities we are trying to create on this educational blog. This thrills us to no end! This is exactly how we want the blog to be used. We encourage each of you to post comments and to engage in conversation with others in our community. You might want to consider signing up to receive our RSS feed or convenient RSS email updates so that you can keep track of all updates and comments as they are posted.

I have a vine from a neighbor’s yard that produces orange, egg-shaped fruit. Inside there is no fruit, only red, slimy seeds. Any idea what this might be?
