Although it is winter in Pakistan, Gabrielle Brinsmead, an Australian artist, has painted a blossomed summer in Karachi - Pakistan s largest port city - with bougainvillaea, hibiscus and frangipani adorning the city walls.
“These flowers abound in New South Wales as well as in Karachi,” she says.
“I wanted to paint these flowers, first of all, to brighten this space which once upon a time was all green… But I also wanted to alert people in this city to the fact that the city is filled with beauty.
