This painting has a soft feel to it. The pink and white flowers look calm and natural, and I like how a few petals have fallen onto the table. To me, it is like a reminder of time passing. It suggests letting go, the way things shift when you move from one chapter to another. It's been meaningful to keep, but now it feels right for this work to move on and be part of someone else's chapter.
