Description
Nasturtiums Study Two
*****
This is a floor up study to a free flowing, loose, wet watercolor depicting one of my favorite flowers, the edible and easy to grow nasturtium. Nasturtiums move all the time, they glow, vibrate, radiate...........they bring me joy.
*****
Vivid, orange and yellow flowers with red accents, large round leaves like water lilies, a cute pointy tail, wrinkles and crinkles, little hairs, and a sprawling, ever changing growth habit make these flowers easy to love, if not to paint.
*****
This watercolor painting was begun as a study, to practice painting the flowers before I added them into a complex still life, but turned out to be a charming and rewarding painting all on its own. These flowers are fun to paint and while last time I got to splash, drip, use a dry brush, try out my sumi-e brushstrokes, and play., this time around I focused on adding a little more detail and realism, while still trying to keep a fresh feeling and an interesting composition.
*****
They taste peppery and exciting, not a delicate flower and not a delicate flavor. They are high in vitamins, A, C and D.
According to:

The entire nasturtium plant is edible and makes for a beautiful garnish on any summer meal. This site even includes a link to two recipes:
Nasturtium and Shrimp Salad Appetizer
Veal Loin with Nasturtiums
*****
The vertical shape of this painting is a defining characteristic that makes it perfect for narrow spaces in your home, where more traditionally sized and shaped art might not fit as well. It is attractively framed in a simple, black frame with white matting.
