Angel’s Trumpets – Oil on canvas painting by Marina Strijakova
I am Beauty, bowed down to the earth, as a deathly secret I hide deep inside. Only an angel’s lips can touch my petals, my pendulous blooms are a knell fatal. Adore me from a distance is all you must do. Underneath all of the splendor is the poisonous truth…
Angel trumpets feature in many good gardens, including famous Sydney Centennial park. A true beauty, charismatic and captivating, attracting people and birds alike, but oh dangerous! Can you feel enigma of these flowers in my painting?
