| To My Wild Rose {2015} oil on canvas, gallery wrapped 12x16 inches / 30.5x40.5 cm not available |
I completed my sister's birthday present from 2013. Thankfully she is very patient with me and knows that a rushed work of art, is not a work of art - at least in my case.
I didn't name it until just the other day, when I came across a beautiful piece of piano. It quickly rushed me to my childhood and the time my sister and I would spend playing and having tea parties in our mother's beautiful garden. Perhaps we played it as children in piano lessons? I don't know why it brought me to that time but I like to call it fate. And the sound of the birds really amplified the effect.
I was going to initially name this 'The Valley of the Rose' or something similiar, but when I heard this music and felt my sister beside me as kids, I knew this was what I wanted to call it.
So, for you my dear sister Sheri, my wild Rose <3.
