“She sprouted love like flowers, grew a garden in her mind, and even on the darkest days, from her smile the sun still shined.”
Born in 1981, Erin began painting as a young lady, learning oils, watercolor, pen and ink, pastels and life drawing from art instructors. She began commissioning portraits of her neighbor's pets at age 10 and by age 12, she was employed after school by a mural studio, learning the techniques of acrylics on the grand scale of 40-foot canvases. Her first encounter with the Vincent Van Gogh painting "Irises" in elementary school was decisive and marked the beginning of her appreciation for Impressionism.
I planted a few deep red Siberian Lilies in the garden last summer. I lost one when I found it had broken off at its base and it had been trampled. That was that but I was very happy to see the remaining ones blooming two days ago.
I turned this photo into a painting with my ArtCard app, and will share the original photo soon.
You did such a lovely job with the lilies. And the poem is very good as well.
