Remember The Flowers

BumberShootStudio Paintings

This painting is far from finished and the flowers have no details in them.

It looks like they may represent some sort of white daisy, but could actually be any number of flowers like Cosmos, Zinnia or Dahlia.

Memories are often like that, blurry, vague images of days gone bye.

There are times in my own life where I look back and can't remember a thing or the memory is foggy at best. Yet other times it's all so crystal clear.

In the nineties my family and I lived in China for a number of years but my memories of that period are cloudy. It was a difficult time, for both locals and foreigners.

I don't remember any of the flowers back then...not a one.

Experience has taught me that even under the hardest of circumstances...there is a huge difference between really living and simply existing.

I never thought I'd go back to China, outside of a visit now and again, it was never my plan.

But I did

and the flowers...they are beautiful!
