This picture includes a wall with a flowering plant growing out of it. So it’s not a wallflower but it is a wall-flower. The things in life that amuse me are a little frightening. Still sometimes, these little things that amuse can be a base-point from which to explore something of greater creativity. Indeed, I was so taken with this idea, that I went on to do “another wall-flower” the following year and presumably “yet another wall-flower” will rear its head in 2013.
I’ve enjoyed painting walls since young and it provides a nice visual frame and background to a glorious bloom. On seeing such occurrences one often wonders how the plants manage to grow in such precarious locations. It is almost a form of visual raspberry blowing to the world. Good on ‘em I say.
I tried something a little different here as I under-painted the white blooms in bright red. Thought this might bring them forward and make them buzz a little, if small amounts peered around the subsequent white layer.
