A Plant's Eye View of the World; Part 2

In the first of my postings about my Evil Greens series of paintings, I illustrated how dandelions may feel about being cut down so callously.

Now, it's the turn of the rose bushes to share their thoughts.

The second in my series "Evil Greens: When Plants Get Mad -Vicious Roses" continues my exploration of alternative views, showing what happens when a zealous gardener goes out to prune the rose bushes. (Prune? What makes you think that doesn't hurt?)

In this case, the bushes fight back, terrorizing the gardener!

Some of the details in this painting can only be seen 'up close and personal', the scratches and blood trickling down various parts of our lady gardener for one.

Just a little something to think about, next time you are heading to the great outdoors...
