The story behind this painting of having an asparagus be your inspiration is really adorable. And I actually didn't know that you work on glass up until now, which blows my mind! Everything in this piece feels weightless and feminine (even the ice axe).
And I personally don't see anything phallic. Sometimes an asparagus is just an asparagus :)
I often get inspired by very simple things, particularly when I've been thinking about a theme for a painting for a while. Thanks a lot for your kind words. You are an excellent artist, and your judgment means a lot to me :-)
