A watercolor painting of reddish pink chrysanthemums sits on a table made of white bricks. An overlaid structure of chrysanthemin frames the flowers in the painting, and various artist's implements, like brushes and a small wooden tray of watercolor paints, are strewn around the table.

Nadine Peez likes chrysanthemums, so much so that she painted this watercolor of the flower overlaid with the molecular structure of chrysanthemin. The eponymous chemical is a pigment that contributes to reddish colors in chrysanthemum flowers and a wide array of fruits. In addition to being an artist, Peez is a PhD chemist who now works as a business innovation manager at Spectral Service, a contract NMR spectroscopy lab. Unsurprisingly, she makes her own watercolor paints.

Check out @n.p.ainting on Instagram to see more of Peez’s artwork and to get a link to her online shop.
