My art piece Birthday Bouquet is a still life painting. It represents my first birthday bouquet without my dad. My father passed away in 2022. The flowers are one of my favorites; Sunflowers. representing joy and happiness someone can bring, what I can bring. The lemon represents how sour life can be and how you just have to deal with it, when life gives you lemons. The apples represent how sweet I am. How bittersweet I am. (apples/lemons). The cup is called a Jarro's.  It is  a Mexican mug. The mug represents what I am, a beautiful painted mug with nothing inside, just a decoration. I painted this for my own sake to heal.  I hope it can bring happiness to those who see it. I am an Artist and I hope to grow and be known for it. Thank you.
