Yet another garden book inspiration

So many flowers so little time... I guess it is only natural that an artist who also worked as a florist for a time would like to paint flowers. This acrylic on canvas measures 16 x 20 and is at present unframed. I enjoy any theme with a pathway, a very traditional mythological icon. While this was not completely inspired by myth; the lotus appears prominently in eastern mythology. Most beautiful are the tales of the Buddha floating on a lotus dreaming our reality, all around are other lotus with dreamers inside, closed for the unenlightened, opened for the lucky enlightened souls.
