Nocturnal Garden with Visitor

Plants and sky are finished.
The next one will be on a white ground because I think I'll try another fabric design or t-shirt. For cloth printing, the black background is a disadvantage.
Painting plants on a dark ground reminds me of nights under trees. Plants breathe like plants at day-time, but like animals during the night, consuming oxygen, as we do; could it be they sleep at day and are awake at night?

Eva, it is perfect, it is beautiful! I love it!
What a fellow this Tatzel is! Der hat es faustdick hinter den Ohren! Ein Lauser und ein Schalk! And a charmer! Und ein bisschen hinterfozig, wie man in Bayern sagt! He is flirting with the rose! Look at his body language! There is a lot of erotic in this painting and seduction too! The sweet rose seems to be interested, neigt sich ihm zu, is listening to his whispers...
Hm - wow!

This is indeed a beauty! Look at how he is hovering over the rose! He has only one thing on his mind!

Also Eva, ich krieg mich ja gar nicht wieder ein! I really love this!
"Der Taztelwurm entdeckt die Rose", nein nein, das sagt es ja noch gar nicht aus, da solltest Du noch punkt punkt punkt ... dahinter machen!
:-)
So ein fiesiger schmeichlerischer Schelm!
Ich schmunzele und laechle Dich an liebe Eva - koennte es sein, dass Du das gar nicht bewusst gemalt hast, was da herausgekommen ist? Freud Freud???
You are just great, you know that?

This is such a magical piece. I love the black background...why is it a disadvantage?
I have been taking a little vacation and not posting or reading blogs as often as before. Will be back in full swing soon.

Thought I left a comment ...just came back to look at this again, it is one of my favorites of yours. He's like an id monster, but sweet.
