‘The Gift’

This painting is a response to finding beauty in being lost and found. I found this fallen single bloom of a rhododendron on the bench in our garden. It was perfect, and amazingly fresh. It was if it had just been picked from the plant and left as a gift from an unseen hand.

I decided to not question the gift, but to accept it. Unexpected gifts often come to us when we most need them. At this time I was accepting and coming to terms with tumultuous change and loss. A simple gift of a fallen flower was enough that day.
