Nasturtium v1

Oil on canvas, 31cm x 41cm

Nasturtiums are the best. The bees love them, they grow like crazy, they’re beautiful and edible with a lovely peppery taste.

This summer I bought myself a macro lens to explore my garden in miniature. As I have not been very well- suffering from ME/CFS which limits my energy- I spend a lot of time just sitting in my garden. My garden is tiny, and urban, mostly paved, with lots of things in pots.

Nasturtium v2

Mixed media (cyanotype, acrylic, acrylic transfer, oil pastel, and oil) on linen, 31cm x 41cm

This one started out as a cyanotype but was overexposed, so I started working into it and on top of it. I really like the strangeness of it. It almost seems like an alien creature or landscape.
