“Doing My Best With What I Have”
Acrylic painting on 7x10 mixed media paper
February-March 2026

I saw this dandelion growing from the sidewalk of a gas station. The half of a peanut shell was nested between the flowers, and a discarded cigarette butt lied next to it.

I thought it made a good composition, but it also felt bittersweet to me. Like the dandelion would just bear whatever refuse was thrown on it while living out its short life. It’s the kind of thing most people walk past without thinking much of it, and some don’t notice at all.

I like dandelions.

There’s no daintier feeling than seeing a trio of yellow flowers during the spring season when the dandelions blossom!

I bought this set not too long ago. It was only $5! I LOVE the LEGO Botanicals line, and I'm happy to add this dandelion set to my collection. I especially love the puffball dandelion!
