Albugo infection on a wild brassica

Ink painting/drawing of oomycete Albugo infection on a wild brassica.

The original, excellent, photograph was by @Llewelyn68.

The painting shows a long flower stem, with leaves, flower buds and long thin seed pods at the top. The stem and buds are all covered in white fluffy patches, as though someone has sprinkled flour over them.

This is one of the few plant pathogen paintings that is not a composition. It is a direct copy from a delightful photograph that was sent to me on twitter (original photo below).
