Description
Room To Move
*****
Room To Move is 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.
*****
Room To Move 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 lovely and engaging painting all on its own. These flowers are fun to paint. I got to splash, drip, use a dry brush, try out my sumi-e brushstrokes, and play. I think the painting communicates that unrestrained feeling of freedom and motion, and I sincerely hope it also brings you joy.
*****
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:
http://www.almanac.com/plant/nasturtium
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
*****
I painted these irresistible, cheerful flowers en plain air, on my porch in Evergreen, Colorado on a sunny fall day. And as a side not, deer apparently don't like to eat them, so I'll be growing, and painting, plenty more in the coming years.

I named the painting after the John Mayall sone Room To Move, and here are the lyrics, as provided by: https://play.google.com/music/preview/Twup4wqgaelwq3452d5ulyntmti?lyrics=1&utm_source=google&utm_medium=search&utm_campaign=lyrics&pcampaignid=kp-lyrics

May seem peculiar
How I think o' you
If you want me darlin'
Here's what you must do.
You gotta free me
'cause I can't give the best
Unless I got room to move.
If you want me darlin'
Take me how you can
I'll be circulating,
'cause that's the way I am.
You gotta free me
'cause I can't give the best
Unless I got room to move
