The Nasturtium is cheery coloured, bee attracting, peppery edible which can be found in my vegetable garden. This is a watercolour painting where I carefully built up layers of paint to achieve this vibrant bright scarlett and orange colour that are one of the distinctive attributes of the Nasturtium. Another beautiful thing about Nasturtium are it's disc shaped leaves and how The light shines through them. The flow in this artwork is created by the wavy leaves and stems. The subtle background pattern is like a shadow of the flowers. The thick black outlines like in printmaking create a graphic image that can be viewed with equal pleasure from a distance. I was influenced by Japanese prints, in this my most recent painting, of Nasturtium flowers. I have been drawn to paint these flowers many times in my life. A stand out piece on it's own or paired with other medium or small sized paintings to create a themed wall.
