Description
Who in the world hates flowers? If there is a person like that, Respect. I have not met anyone who hates flowers. I particularly love flowers as they appear in nature. Who can beat the way God splays the landscape with flowers of all sorts. When I was a young artist of about 10, I used to draw my flowers bright and actual no matter what the perspective. I would draw clearly defined flowers on the mountains, on hills next to a distant lake. All the flowers on my foreground and background were the same size; bright and beautiful.
Then I went to school to learn about perspective, and that is the day I lost all my artistic freedom. The teacher said things must make perspective sense. I now regret the day I went to school to learn how to paint in perspective. I respect those guys who just don’t follow the rules. I try to do so too sometimes, but perspective is like a disease. Look at all those flowers in this landscape that I just had to do as dots! No distinct flower could fit! That is what I learnt in school. Teachers are great, they teach you all the things you don’t want to know.
Please take what I have said above with a pinch of salt, I just wanted to fill the paragraphs space. I think I accomplished that. Keep it in perspective now, will you?

You have a great sense of humor, Anthony! Love the painting and description. I know what you mean about learning the rules. Perhaps once we get old we'll be free to break them again.... LF

Nice work, Anthony. To my eye, non-perspective would be distracting and take away from the overall image. L
Anthony Mwangi replied:
I agree with you Jeanne. I am a slave to perspective too. I just can't help but admire those who do distorted things and make them look ok. Art is so diverse it is infinite. Just on FAA alone I am so amazed by the variety!
