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. However, they paint them anyway because it is more cost-effective than hiring models and flowers do not require compensation or pose adjustments. 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.
