Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.
Signed on the front.
This painting was inspired by a visit to Mt. Lofty Botanic Gardens, but the flowers took on a life of their own.
Many years ago I read John Wydham’s book ‘The Day of the Triffids’, and for some time imagined these plants entering my bedroom window. A triffid is a fictional tall, mobile, carnivorous plant species, created by John Wyndham in his 1951 novel. The word "triffid" has become a common reference in British English to describe large, invasive or menacing-looking plants.
