#50. Sticky Stinky Gumweed

SOLD!

September 4th, 2014: Oil on Board, 6" x 6".  A cupful of Gumweed, or Grindelia.  This stuff that grows all over our property is a strange strain that doesn't seem to have petals at all, just the sticky button centers.  It can be used medicinally, and in these parts, people use an infusion of it when they have a cold or flu.  It's really, really bitter and has an overpowering medicinal smell, making it a bit too fragrant in my studio today.  I think it's pretty just the same.
