Identification Chart | Leaves of Trees and Shrubs

Chart, ID, guide, display board, infographic or learning poster to identify leaves / leaf shapes of trees / shrubs like apple, sycamore, birch, blackberry, beech, sweet chestnut, mountain ash, rowan, alder, ash, aspen, field maple, buckthorn, lilac, rosehip, hornbeam, dogwood, hazel, elderberry, cherry, cherry laurel, lime, poplar, plane, robinia, horse chestnut, rhododendron, red oak, sloe, holly, Norway maple, English oak, sessile oak, elm, walnut, willow, hawthorn in forest, field, garden

This summer, we’ve been out and about in forests, fields, parks and gardens a lot, and enjoyed identifying trees! We noticed that the distinction between tree and shrub is quite impractical for identifying leaves on the go!, and therefore, I decided to extend my 25 Tree Leaves identification chart to 36 Tree and Shrub Leaves, to cover the most common large, woody plants! The infographics is now available at Posterlounge (Amazon / eBay), Redbubble and Søciety6. ➔

Infographie | Feuilles d’Arbres et d’Arbustes en Français

Affiche, tableau ou infographie pour identifier les feuilles d'arbres et d'arbustes tels que le pommier, érable sycomore, bouleau, mûrier, hêtre, sorbier des oiseleurs, aulne, frêne, tremble, érable champêtre, nerprun, lilas, églantier, charme, cornouiller, noisetier, sureau, cerisier, laurier-cerise, tilleul, peuplier, platane, robinier, marronnier, rhododendron, chêne rouge, prunellier, houx, érable de Norvège, chêne pédonculé, chêne allemand, chêne sessile, orme, noyer, saule, aubépine, châtaignier, chêne et érable en forêt

Cet été, nous nous sommes promenés souvent dans les forêts, les champs, les parcs et les jardins et nous avons identifié les arbres avec enthousiasme ! Nous avons remarqué que la distinction entre arbre et arbuste pour déterminer les feuilles au bord des chemins n’était pas très pratique, et c’est pourquoi, après mes 25 feuilles d’arbres, j’ai dessiné un tableau d’affichage élargi avec 36 feuilles d’arbres et d’arbustes, couvrant les plus courantes des grandes plantes ligneuses. Le motif est disponible chez Posterlounge (Amazon / eBay), Redbubble et Søciety6. ➔

Art Prints | Identification Charts with Foliage Trees

Identification chart, infographic, field guide or learning poster for identifying the shape or silhouette, the leaves or leaf shapes, the fruit, nut, acorn or seed, as well as the buds and shoots of European foliage, broadleaf or deciduous trees such as Alder, Ash, Beech, Birch, Buckeye, Hazel, Hornbeam, Lime, Maple, Oak, Poplar and Willow, by Iris Luckhaus

After drawing Tree Shapes, Leaves, Fruits and Shoots, I have put all these characteristics of the most common foliage trees into a single identification chart, which is helpful to get to know the tree species and identify them over all the seasons. The identification chart is available at Posterlounge (also via eBay!), Redbubble und Søciety6! ➔

Art Prints | Identification Chart with Culinary Herbs

Educational poster, display board, identification chart or infographic for identification of the leaves, branches and stems of the most popular kitchen herbs, garden herbs or wild herbs such as basil, wild garlic, savory, borage, watercress, cress, dill, tarragon, fennel, chervil, coriander, spearmint, mint, lovage, laurel, marjoram, oregano, parsley, burnet, pimpinella, rocket, arugula, rosemary, sage, sorrel, chives, thyme, woodruff, lemon balm or balm by Iris Luckhaus

In the meantime, I’ve finished my identification chart on kitchen herbs that I started years ago (but never found time to edit), mainly because I wanted to know for myself what is what and because it’s so exciting to try and understand and draw the blueprint of plants! The chart is available via Posterlounge (Amazon / eBay), Redbubble and Søciety6. ➔

After a couple of years, where I learned a lot about trees – partly thanks to my client, the Landesforsten – I recently completely revised and lovingly corrected the details of my tree leaves, so that every tiny line is finally right (I hope :))! The revised identification chart is now available at Posterlounge (Amazon / eBay), Redbubble and Søciety6. ➔

Art Print (Special Birth Gift) | Foxy goes Hiking

Illustration of a hiking little fox cub with a backpack in the autumnal New England mountains with purple skies, accompanied by a pair of Northern Cardinala, a Black-capped Chickadee, an American Robin, a Sparrow, a Downy Woodpecker, a pair of Tufted Titmousea, an Eastern Bluebird, a Goldfinch, a Baltimore Oriole, a White-breasted Nuthatch, a family of Mallard Ducks and four Ducklings, a White-footed Deer-mouse, a Flying Squirrel, a Garden Snail, a Northern Green Frog, a Spotted Salamander, a Painted Turtle, a Virginia Opossum, a Hedgehog (as the project started with the "hedgehog hike", the hedgehog became sort of our unicorn :)), two Groundhogs or Woodchucks, a Chipmunk, a Red Squirrel, a Striped Skunk, two Cottontail Rabbits, two Red Admirals, a Tailed Blue, a Clouded Sulphur, a Monarch Butterfly, a Least Weasel, an American Pine Marten, a River Otter, two Fly Amanitas, and a Common Raccoon, by Iris Luckhaus.

Little Foxy was one of my favorite projects this year! It all started with a friend enquiring me to draw a special art print for the birth of a friends’ daughter, and it involved extensive research (like, snooping the new mother’s blog for likes and interests :)), finding a new style (I’ve never drawn anthropomorphic animals before, and it was more fun than expected!), figuring out that New England’s wildlife is surprisingly different from European wildlife (American robins are actually thrushs!) and, somehow, drawing so many of these animals that they got their own wall chart! ➔

Flora (Margarita) im Walde

Once again, I am not allowed to show any of my wonderful recent projects (yet!), so here’s some in between personal work; those are inspired by some early bloomers I discovered during the last weeks (marigolds, daisies and roses, which seem to be able to bloom under snow?!) – and full of anticipation for the approaching spring! ➔

Identification Chart | Leaves of Trees and Shrubs

Chart, ID, guide, display board, infographic or learning poster to identify leaves / leaf shapes of trees / shrubs like apple, sycamore, birch, blackberry, beech, sweet chestnut, mountain ash, rowan, alder, ash, aspen, field maple, buckthorn, lilac, rosehip, hornbeam, dogwood, hazel, elderberry, cherry, cherry laurel, lime, poplar, plane, robinia, horse chestnut, rhododendron, red oak, sloe, holly, Norway maple, English oak, sessile oak, elm, walnut, willow, hawthorn in forest, field, garden

This summer, we’ve been out and about in forests, fields, parks and gardens a lot, and enjoyed identifying trees! We noticed that the distinction between tree and shrub is quite impractical for identifying leaves on the go!, and therefore, I decided to extend my 25 Tree Leaves identification chart to 36 Tree and Shrub Leaves, to cover the most common large, woody plants! The infographics is now available at Posterlounge (Amazon / eBay), Redbubble and Søciety6. ➔

Infographie | Feuilles d’Arbres et d’Arbustes en Français

Cet été, nous nous sommes promenés souvent dans les forêts, les champs, les parcs et les jardins et nous avons identifié les arbres avec enthousiasme ! Nous avons remarqué que la distinction entre arbre et arbuste pour déterminer les feuilles au bord des chemins n’était pas très pratique, et c’est pourquoi, après mes 25 feuilles d’arbres, j’ai dessiné un tableau d’affichage élargi avec 36 feuilles d’arbres et d’arbustes, couvrant les plus courantes des grandes plantes ligneuses. Le motif est disponible chez Posterlounge (Amazon / eBay), Redbubble et Søciety6. ➔

After drawing Tree Shapes, Leaves, Fruits and Shoots, I have put all these characteristics of the most common foliage trees into a single identification chart, which is helpful to get to know the tree species and identify them over all the seasons.

The chart is available via Posterlounge (Amazon / eBay), Redbubble and Søciety6. ➔

Art Print (Special Birth Gift) | Foxy goes Hiking

Illustration of a hiking little fox cub with a backpack in the autumnal New England mountains with purple skies, accompanied by a pair of Northern Cardinala, a Black-capped Chickadee, an American Robin, a Sparrow, a Downy Woodpecker, a pair of Tufted Titmousea, an Eastern Bluebird, a Goldfinch, a Baltimore Oriole, a White-breasted Nuthatch, a family of Mallard Ducks and four Ducklings, a White-footed Deer-mouse, a Flying Squirrel, a Garden Snail, a Northern Green Frog, a Spotted Salamander, a Painted Turtle, a Virginia Opossum, a Hedgehog (as the project started with the "hedgehog hike", the hedgehog became sort of our unicorn :)), two Groundhogs or Woodchucks, a Chipmunk, a Red Squirrel, a Striped Skunk, two Cottontail Rabbits, two Red Admirals, a Tailed Blue, a Clouded Sulphur, a Monarch Butterfly, a Least Weasel, an American Pine Marten, a River Otter, two Fly Amanitas, and a Common Raccoon, by Iris Luckhaus.

Little Foxy was one of my favorite projects this year! It all started with a friend enquiring me to draw a special art print for the birth of a friends’ daughter, and it involved extensive research (like, snooping the new mother’s blog for likes and interests :)), finding a new style (I’ve never drawn anthropomorphic animals before, and it was more fun than expected!), figuring out that New England’s wildlife is surprisingly different from European wildlife (American robins are actually thrushs!) and, somehow, drawing so many of these animals that they got their own wall chart! ➔
