New Collage Painting

“Her Name Is English Rose” She blooms in every season under a sky bringing rain or sun. She takes her cue from the roses growing in her garden that she may grow to be fragrant, soft, and durable.

There is no criticism or comparison in her garden; just gratitude. She fingers one petal after another like a blind girl seeing for the first time.

She reminds me of my grandmother, whose father emigrated from London to become the first commercial rose-grower in California (or so I have been told). As a young adult, my grandmother loaded her father’s winter roses onto a horse-drawn wagon. Before dawn, she trekked from Eagle Rock to the Los Angeles flower mart to sell their beauties. She talked about the experience all her life.
