Mint-choc echinacea

Yes, I know, I was flumoxed by the title too. I mean I've heard some flavour and ingredient combinations before that had me baffled, but this one was a real mystery!

In a bold departure, it appears that Lisa Wright has decided to use her mint-choc background (created especially for The Summer of Ice Cream Colours), as a stage setting for flowers. With not a face or eye in sight, this appears to be a throwback to her early painting days when she believed that the only things she was capable of painting were petals and bunnies in smocks and sailor suits.

Will this set a new trend? Are all those macro shots of Corfu blooms about to be immortalised onto canvas with paint and pastel? I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
