"I am patient"
vertical floral original painting
 
This collection started with my strong desire to capture my bouquet of peonies in photographs before it began to wilt and die.
 
I really wasn't expecting/planning to paint them, but as soon as I started snapping photos, I was utterly captivated! I knew I had to enjoy their presence with every brush stroke. 
 
I wanted to capture those emotions I felt from realizing their fading beauty without putting myself as the main subject. I chose women of varying cultural ethnicities to portray the spirit of endearing love. Women embody a softened heart and peaceful aura.
 
Although the emotion of holding onto something beautiful before it leaves is bittersweet, we are reminded that life is short. It calls us to capture a moment in every detail and be present to the beautiful things that we cherish while still here.
 
Adding women of varying ethnicities to this collection adds a new dimension that conveys not only how I felt when I bought myself flowers, but also that we all can act, feel, and treat ourselves and others better when we are more present.
