Summary

This quote likely reflects a sarcastic perspective from an artist who dislikes painting flowers. By saying "I hate flowers," the artist implies a disdain for the subject matter.

The quote humorously suggests that the artist's preference for painting stationary objects stems from avoiding the challenges and expenses associated with painting human subjects.
