Healing Trio - Acrylic on Canvas 12x12

Known as Goat's Rue, Catgut or Devil's Shoestring, "parts of this plant were used medicinally by a number of Native American tribes. At various times it was used to treat rheumatism, fevers, pulmonary problems, bladder disorders, coughing, hair loss, and reproductive disorders." (from the KSU wildflower website.) So it seems this little wildflower can fix nearly anything. It almost sounds like an infomercial for this wildflower as a cure-all.

Never the less I found the petals seductive and beautiful. They were discovered along the roadside and when I saw them I had to stop immediately and record them for my series.

This is available today.
