Blossoms of Innocence
Hand Sculpted Roses painting
30cm x 100cm
Mixed Media with Powertex, fabric, twigs, acrylic paints and inks.
This series of paintings is inspired by my love for roses and their beautiful blooms in and around the area where I live. As I was making the roses and the other flowers I kept thinking of my mum and her beautifully colourful small garden.
Exhibited at the Under The Rainbow Events Spring Fair in Bluewater Shopping Centre from 6th of April - 12th of May 2024
Petals of Nostalgia
The roses you planted many moons ago
The roses that saw your children grow
Still so fragrant beautiful and sweet
They still give you lots of joy
They make your heart leap.
Beautiful rose
Petals yellow like gold
Your beauty is something to behold
When your fragrance reaches me
It awakens a childhood memory
Small little hands
A garden full of laughter
Mud pies and cakes
Beautifully red roses
To blossom after.
Now the years have passed by
The little hands not so little anymore
Wrinkly hands and a life lived
Sitting there under the rays of the sun
With my beautiful children
Remembering roses planted by my mum.
