Well, this was a fun one (ha ha). It’s the third painting I’ve done of white caladiums this summer. I guess I like them. Last year it was the red caladiums that caught my fancy. Every time I’d email one of my friends, I’d be moaning about how horribly challenging this was. But — it was kind of like that old quote: “Why climb Mt. Everest? Because it was there”…. It’s just so much more pleasant (and easier on my back) to paint complex, challenging buggers like this than to be out in the hot sun, yanking weeds for hours.
OK, yeah — I guess those weeds aren’t gonna pull themselves. I’d better get out there…..
