Dahlias

Pollination and Propagation started when a friend brought over a beautiful Dahlia bouquet picked from her garden. I started painting it the next day and then walked out to my garden to see what other flowers I could add to the painting. Dahlia’s are edible. They taste a bit like Jerusalem Artichokes. I liked that I could munch while I was painting and decided that for this series, a bar would be set. All the flowers needed to be downright tasty.

The flower series began as a "paint and munch" kind of thing. Alongside, my dinner salads also grew more and more colorful as I discovered just how tasty these buds were.
