Still Life

 

Since I had recently done an 'arranged, story based' still life, I was looking for something to just 'hit me'. When I go to Warner Park Organic Garden, I always stop at the greenhouse.  It was mostly empty save this trusty old broom and garden hose. I think greenhouses have a lot of symbolism around the plant life cycle and relies on a dedicated work ethic to create growth. I love the random way there are unintended plants in this space as well, so I did this image in color to highlight the plants growing in defiance of the broom.
