As preparation for a larger painting, I've painted this small work of dandelions.
These cheerful yellow flowered plants are known for their distinctive fluffy white seed heads- or dandelion "clocks". Their tiny seeds are dispersed by the wind- or sometimes by small children "telling the time", by blowing the heads to send the seeds flying.
Native to Europe and Asia, and introduced to other countries around the world, they grow almost everywhere there is a temperate climate.
In the past they were a useful food for humans, but now they are often regarded as a "weed" by gardeners. But they are important in ecosystems by supporting various insects early in the summer and serving as a food source for birds.
This was painted onto textured heavy weight paper, using Artist's professional acrylic paint.
It is ready to hang, and framed in a bespoke solid oak frame which is 26 cm square. The painted area is 12 cm square.
This series of small paintings are small enough to hang anywhere- an awkward space or on a staircase, but with enough presence to always look great- singly or as a group. Hang them in blocks, vertical rows or horizonal lines.
