▂▃▅▇█▓▒░۩۞۩ Description of this Artwork  ۩۞۩░▒▓█▇▅▃▂

“But he who dares not grasp the thorn 
Should never crave the rose.” ― Anne Brontë

:iconukulelemoon::iconsaysplz: I've done studies of plants before. I wanted to capture here the feeling you get when you receive a bouquet of flowers from your sweetie. That first moment you hold them close and inhale their sent. Your eyes drift up to theirs and you smile. That smile is worth everything to them. Sometimes life is about the small trinkets of kindness we receive.

Let me tell you a different story from my childhood.

My dad worked a lot. He owned his own business and was gone for 12 hour stretches and countless business trips. I got very good grades and went to a private school. I was allowed to go with him many times but it never seemed like enough time together. My mom was a really crappy mother and I couldn't stand being around her. My dad was my all, my world.

One day he planned a very special surprise for me. There was a father-daughter dance at the school. He and I got all dressed up. He even picked out this cute little pink dress for me (I was a very girly girl as a child even though I loved computers and cars) and took me to get a boston creme donut from the bakery. What a time we had! All the other kids were standing around while my dad cut the rug with me. I was young, maybe 6 or so. He lifted me up and spun me around. Truly, I had never been more happier or felt more loved.

Then afterwards he gave me a present. It was a single rose. I wanted to plant the rose in the ground but he told me it was dead.

IMMEDIATE TEARS. I have never received flowers, on request, from anyone I have ever been with. I love living things, living flowers. I understand that a single rose does not kill the entire bush now, but when I was young, this was the most terrible thing you could imagine!
