For my Father

Size - 8 x 8 Inches (12 x 12 Inches framed)
Medium - Soft Pastels
This rose bud immortalizes the deep love shared between souls beyond the veils between worlds: deep, sacred and fragrant. My father was not only my biggest fan but also my harshest critique. He taught me to navigate life with honor and honesty. his gentlest and kindness touched so many people in his lifetime that i feel honored to be his daughter.
Like this rose he was in oblivion to the beauty of his gentle soul that impacted everyone he met. The rose dwells amongst thorns but that doesn’t deter its beauty or fragrance. My dad had a very challenging life but that did not dull his love for life and the people he met along his way felt his love.
