I wasn't sure whether or not to call this picture 'resurrection' although it was the title that came to mind when painting it and I wanted to make some reference to its history, which as you say is in one sense quite sad. Still, hopefully something positive has arisen from a mundane and neglected supermarket shelf.greg beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655926301284639029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198823183948423137.post-10612367542095830202017-11-17T02:42:12.075-08:002017-11-17T02:42:12.075-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.greg beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655926301284639029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198823183948423137.post-24682096479175724122017-11-17T02:22:13.681-08:002017-11-17T02:22:13.681-08:00I'm trying to decide why I thought a chilli wi...I'm trying to decide why I thought a chilli with shrivelled leaves could look cheerful. Maybe because of its colour. Perhaps because of the title you gave it. But when I read about rescuing it from the supermarket I felt sad again - realising you hadn't meant that it would suddenly spring to life . . . or that you'd use the seeds.<br />Or maybe it's because the leaves aren't in detail. I love shrivelled leaves. They are dynamic not dying; constantly changing - and with more individuality than when unfurling at the beginning of their lives.Lucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.com
