This little painting is a small burst of colour featuring pink roses on a cooler background of sky-blue and Australian blue gum colours.
Pink roses have typically been a symbol for gratitude and admiration.
Roses thrive when they are given adequate amounts of sunlight and water. They also respond well to pruning to allow for new growth in the next season and removal of the “dead” flowers during their season of flower. Whilst they can have seasons of plentiful flowering , they also experience time being dormant.
For our own lives, it is important to recognise the seasons we are in, and give ourselves permission to both “flourish” and have periods of dormancy or rest. The flowering would not be as beautiful without the season of “rest” prior. Some seasons of life offer much opportunity to reach potential compared to other periods which may feel more mundane. It can be important to realise that we cannot always be flowering at our potential without this necessary time of rest to both prepare and nurture the flowers to come.
I also appreciate how pruning in our own lives, whilst sometimes uncomfortable at the time can enable further development. Sometimes we need to rid the things which are holding us back and reflect on removing what is no longer serving us well.
Regardless of what the rose means to you, they are a flower of much beauty to be enjoyed.
This piece was named to encourage us all to just begin where we are at.
