SMALL MESSY FLOWERS

I had planned to paint a lovely bouquet of spring flowers. Nicely set out, very neat. Then, I turned on the radio. The news. The world is a mess! I refuse to paint a mess, so I painted the flowers in a way that corresponds to the news of March 2024: higgledy-piggledy with a woven gold edge that sums up politics in this case…forever entwined with gold knotted into the politics….The result was a burst of flowers on a background that seemed quite organised. There are simple things in life that comfort us, like flowers. Enjoy!
