This "let's start 2021 off with a fun one" vibe for this painting evaporated under the glow of my TV, oscillating between the broadcast of the insurrection and the January pandemic-related news. It was all a bit much.
I thought of my time spent in the greenhouses of Mexico City, where the temperature and plants were utterly splendid, and the city was bursting with colour on storefronts and residential buildings alike.
