Lupines are tall, colourful and mighty. Roadsides are lined with their purple, pink and white every summer. Too bad lupine is considered a weed because it’s an invasive species here in Finland. A beautiful stranger!
Painting “Lupine” was a smooth process even though I almost ruined the colour balance. Luckily I realized that the lupine flowers should softly blend with the warm colours of the sunset in the background, not clash with them.
Lupines also have beautiful star-shaped leaves that easily gather morning dew.
I find lupines bold flowers as they flourish in an “alien” soil. They stand tall and reach for the sky with their spiky blossoms. I’m not gonna be the one to weed them out!
