My last painting sparked (besides a little guilt for rushing) an exciting inspiration for me. With Mothers Day coming, loving my wonderful mom and love being a mom, I've been thinking a lot about all of the moms that have influenced my life. Flowers are the perfect representation of mothers, per myself. Flowers are so varied. Some are beautiful, some smell wonderful, some start out odd, some are the perfect finish to the perfect arrangement, some are stinky, some are weeds, some are plain familiar but always constant, some are delicate and some are so interesting you can't help but wonder how on earth God came up with that formula. Hmmm...so moms and flowers. Like weeds some mothers are wonderful teachers of hard work. Stinky ones??? Did you know that most stinky flowers stink for a reason?? Often to ward off insects and bugs, they protect other flowers. Take a carnation...constant, simple, sometimes a filler but no less beautiful. Sunflowers!! They grow tall, strong, powerful under heat. What inspiration ey?? So all of my pieces up to Mothers Day are going to be of Mothers (flowers). If you decide to buy a piece for your Mother for Mothers Day $10 smackaroos off. Yeah Moms!!
your mom.
