Wall Flowers

Name could be construed as a double entendre. Yes, they are flowers and yep, they are upon my wall. Also not-so-coincidentally the name of one of my favourite Peter Gabriel songs (“though you may disappear, you’re not forgotten here…” Chills anyone?).

Again, these painting arose simply out of the need to fill a space on a wall in my new house. I can’t say I am a fan of sunflowers in particular (or flowers in general – sunflower, dandelion… they all look the same to me ), but do like the way they turned out.

The other nice thing about these is that, unlike a wall hanging, I can paint these in one or two sittings. So there is a bit of instant gratification, which is a nice change from staring at the same canvas for weeks on end.
