Loving the rain stained window and silhouette of the building outside as well as the plant and butterfly.

That curving stem of leaves catching the light just left of center is what catches my eye and holds my attention in this one, Mariuca.

The color palette, how the flowers match the Adam and Eve art, is what I find interesting. The purity of white juxtaposed with warning, caution, and danger of orange. That's temptation. Works well square too!

Comment by streetpigeon:
My eye flowed downward in this image. It began with, "oh no, a couple of flowers," but as I completed the visual journey I admired the creative, modulated and harmoniously toned result. The medieval illustration, perhaps of fertility and/or love, is an allegorical blossom or bud of a different order, but tied into the upper flowers. The moon and sun of the "real" flowers are echoed below on the upper stem and just inside the veined, globe-like bud. The upper flowers are subtly angled to look at the couple. It's a still life with a twist, and that allusive twist makes all the difference. Elegant and, did I mention, creative.

Well this is a surprise because from the thumb I thought that there was a crustacean fossil in there.

What Don said. And I remember the exhortations in art class to take notice of reflected colour.

did you stick those flowers on a painting? what a weird and irreverent thing to do. Duchamp and Man Ray want prints.

Comment by posthumous:
as someone who's tried painting, this reminds me of how hard it is to paint light skin. It has no color of its own and seems to share in the color around it. I get a strong sense of that from this photo. the colors deconstruct and reconstruct as I look at it. a fascinating image.

here we go, dissolving into internet culture. John Berger predicted this. Alan Turing predicted this. Leonardo da Vinci predicted this.

the art looks at us looking at art, and that is art.
