Yesterday, I was riding back from Westminster street after buying some local produce including 10 cloves of garlic, when I arrived at a street corner planted with great big bunches of pink, magenta, and white flowers. A city bus was parked silently in the background, but soon after I started the painting it took off and I had to complete the scene from memory. I had to simplify their petal shapes into amorphous blobs in order to get the painting done. I liked the contrast between the delicate flowers (pink and chartreuse) with the rough looking bus (dark and angular). I don't know the name of these flowers, I will have to take a picture and use google image search. Note: After taking a picture of these flowers and image searching, these are called cosmos flowers.
