Garden boot in bloom

$250
Select size

A worn garden boot abandoned in a flower bed, discovered mid-spring when the pansies had already begun climbing over the toe. Painted from a photograph taken at dusk, in the hour when colours soften.

The most charming things grow where they aren't expected.

"An old garden boot, overgrown and forgotten — I painted it from memory. Something about the way things bloom without permission."

— Dasha Orlinsky, artist
