This reminds me of lying in a field full of daisies on a beautiful summer day. Just take a deep breath and relax! This is one of the South Texas Flower Series.

This was Nana’s favorite flower, and I made this pastel drawing just for her. Nana was such an amazing, strong, loving, and silly woman!!

This was the first flower in my South Texas Flower Series. It is a Christmas Carol Camellia. The original was airbrushed with acrylic on clayboard.

The state flower of Texas! This probably should have been my first in the South Texas Ranch Series, but it is here now! And I think it’s my new favorite!

I LOVE flowers! This piece just makes me smile! From the colors to the flowers to the crazy swirls!

This was created with alcohol ink markers. Actually, it was the first time I had used this type of medium…and I have to tell you, I LOVE IT!! These are not actually any specific flower (that I know of).

Purple is one of my favorite colors! And we all know how much I love flowers! Combine the two and here you go!!

This was originally painted for an amazing girl going to seminary school. She picked the colors, and I went from there…love the deep purple!

Did you know daisies are composite flowers, meaning that they actually consist of two flowers combined into one. Because daisies are composed of two flowers that blend together so well, they symbolize true love. They also symbolize innocence and purity.

Sunflowers are happy flowers, so their joyous symbolism can’t be overlooked. The sunflower can symbolize warmth, positivity, power, strength, and happiness since it bears such a strong resemblance to the sun itself. The yellow petals are known as rays since the look just like the rays of the sun.

This flower is a beautiful and delicate bloom that has long been associated with love, passion, and femininity. It has bright colors and intricate petals, and it is often used as a symbol of joy and happiness.

Flaked and painted saw blade that I painted especially for Cat Orozco…because she is an amazing tattoo artist who did some amazing work for me.

Just a pretty blue flower in the spring.

Although different colors symbolize different things with this flower, generally Daliah’s are viewed as symbolizing grace under pressure, inner strength, and the move toward positive major life changes, beauty, commitment and kindness. They are also tied to steadfastness, due to their ability to bloom after many other flowers have died.

Stargazer Lilies and this color were my Nana’s favorite. So, this one was done with her in mind. The lily is most commonly associated with life, abundance, and resurrection. It is also seen as a symbol of wealth and prosperity.

Iris flowers symbolize faith, honor, valor, wisdom, and grandeur. It is said to be good omen and is a perfect gift to grace any occasion.

This flower represents modesty, charm, happiness, and joy. The plant, with its flame-like colors, is also called firewheel and sundance. You can see these flowers on the roadside in Texas, they show up as the bluebonnet season comes to an end.

Love how the flowers and vines wind their way around this helmet.

The poppy flower is a common symbol that has been used to represent everything from peace to death and even simply sleep. When used on tombstones, poppies represent eternal sleep since ancient times. This symbolism was referenced in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, in which a mystical poppy flower field could make the characters sleep forever.

Poppies became associated with peace and sacrifice for the greater good after WWI broke out in northern France. Shortly after the battle, poppies grew around the bodies of fallen soldiers. They were one of only a few plants that regrew after the war ended.
