Description

This flower painting is titled “Wedding rejects”. It is a painting that reflects the fact that it’s sometimes just not possible to invite everyone to a wedding. And also in this case, lilies are just not considered the traditional wedding flower, they are more for funerals. So the story goes – I made all the bouquets for the wedding of my sister and then I arranged these left overs in my mothers vase, with some ivy I had picked locally. The trailing ivy kept taking my eye and after a few days of observing them I decided to paint them. I’m glad I did because now I feel I can paint trailing ivy on other things, like my friends leg in a plaster cast!
