I am predisposed to spicy, not sweet
Sara, have you ever smelled Stock (Matthiola incana)? OMG delicious cloves and pepper.
The heliotrope I ordered came in leggy from the nursery, and had to pinch it down and lost all the blooms. Got my first flower this week and the advertised vanilla baby-powder fragrance was no lie!
So lemme tell you about this art. It could have been good. But the main thing I dislike is that, where it's silhouette's in negative space on a white "canvas", what draws the eye are very large white rectangles. So maybe if you like Christo or Malevich, which I personally don't, it's instantly a turn-off. The silhouette's are of trees, kind of. But the artist doesn't get the inherent beauty in the silhouette of a tree form, or even the beauty of the architecture of a tree in winter, with it's branches laid bare. My director actually had to explain the horizontal lines of a Kousa or the vase shape of an Elm, or the broad sweep of our Sugar Maple. Our logo is our locally famous European Beech, and her interpretation of it was to badly wiggle out something that I think is supposed to be the first two feet of the trunk, and didn't bother with the other hundred fifty feet of massive branches and canopy. But she's all about the negative (in both senses), the politics ("missing trees"), and that feels too much like going to church and being reminded that I'm a sinner. That's not my bag when it comes to art. Especially not when I work at a place that preserves historic trees and is restoring the native hardwood forest.
Then there was the complete lack of skill and craftsmanship in cutting the silhouettes. Which I'm sure the artist had no hand in, besides maybe paying someone to do it for her (badly).
She didn't even paint it! I'm still trying to figure out what it is that she did do, besides some rough sketches before handing it off to the help.
erm, sorry, that was long and boring and ranty.
