Dandelions

Dandelions are a much talked about and noticed plant. For many, they bring a sense of nostalgia and childhood to the everyday life of an adult, including memories of plucking flower pRead moreetals, blowing on the seeds and rubbing the yellow parts against the skin to create a new 'look'. All of these and more will be evoked upon seeing a dandelion canvas print. In this collection, paintings include some of the 250 species of dandelions - Japanese white flower, the endangered California dandelion, northern dandelion, Turkish dandelion, the Japanese (yellow flower) dandelion, Russian dandelions (which produce rubber), red seeded dandelions, and many other varieties of the simple yellow flower.

A mythical flower

Dandelions appear in myths and folklore going back centuries. They span many cultures, and have a lot of meanings and uses depending on where you live. Some believe that they bring luck to newlyweds when woven into a wedding bouquet. In dream interpretation, dandelions are positive signs. Blowing the seeds of a dandelion away can send your loving thoughts to someone you care about or help to make a wish come true. A set of canvas prints can feature dandelions by color or size, country or special use. For centuries, dandelions have been used for things such as tea, wine, medicinal herbs, common salads, and artists' painting pigments. Some dandelions are safe, while others are toxic, giving rise to tales of mystery and intrigue alongside stories of simple farm folk brightening up their dinner offerings with this popular yellow flowered plant. Dandelion leaves and roots are said to be good for a number of conditions, including detoxification, inflammation, digestion, and as a source of vitamins. They also look striking in a garden filled with green plants or a wildflower meadow. Green, purple, orange, red, and other colors are featured in patterned canvas prints. Abstracts in red, fields of dandelions in multiple colors, and contrasting color art deco styles can match any home or office decor. A single painting can tell a story or showcase a favored species, depending on your preference.
