Eve's decision was whether to eat the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, or obey God and get to live in the Garden of Eden. This painting tries to capture the very moment that she has decided and begins to turn away from God. I wanted to include every flower that I would miss, and I tried to make it look like the flowers would miss Eve, too. I'm so glad that there are flowers outside of the Garden of Eden! Of course we have to tend them and protect them and pull the weeds that want to choke them. I imagine that there were no weeds in Eden and that the light was soft and filtered, and I tried to paint it so. I believe that at this moment, Eve thought she had made a good decision.
