Inspiration:
Datura metel
Brugmansia
Commonly known as the Devil's trumpet or Angel's trumpets, this plant is beautiful and deadly if ill-handled.
I never was truly oblivious of its nature, but as a child I played on its shadows, I was and still am fascinated by its candid white flowers.
Other font of inspiration, to create my Datura Metel was Cookie, my cat's eyes high on catnip. The austere bottom half of the portraiture although serious, never fails to bring a smile. Her empty state of euphoria would burn as fast as grass fire, I was amused by her sweet mood swing.
