Flower Head

This is the third in a series.  

The "percussion method" of painting prevailed here.  I really wondered if A still wanted to paint, as he kept getting distracted by a neon-orange traffic cone next to his easel.  

When I asked him about this picture, A said it was about the letter "H" (or maybe "h").  

Originally, I thought the painting was about a flower, but now that I look at it, I'm seeing a three-quarters turned head with a wide-opened mouth (the bowl of the "h") -- and it looks like there are fireworks going on inside the head.  

Considering all the pirate flags A's been seeing around lately, I'm not too surprised that he'd draw a colorful skull shape.
