In England when I was growing up, we used to call these Dandelion Clocks and children would blow on them and count how many blows it would take, which would then indicate what time of day it was. (Never accurate of course). I have wanted to try my hand at painting one for some time and recently came across this photo. This is the result.
I absolutely loved painting this and may try doing a group of them together sometime.
Pastel 11"x 14" on Colorfix Suede paper.
