These flowers were painted after being pulled from the ground — roots exposed, life interrupted, beauty still present but altered. The work reflects moments when change comes faster than readiness, when familiar soil gives way and identity feels unsettled.

Though cut off from their source, the forms still hold grace, gesture, and quiet dignity. The dragonfly enters as a sign of transformation — not denial of loss, but testimony that change can carry hidden becoming.

Painted in a restrained green earth palette, the image leans into subtlety and vulnerability. It suggests that displacement and renewal often exist side by side, and that even in seasons of disorientation, something living continues to unfold.

This painting is 16X20 inches created in oil paint on linen adhered to panel and framed with a gold floater frame.
