Fleur de Mon Coeur, Flowers of My Heart is created using bright, Springtime colors to inspire the bold, fun, and inspiring feelings of family and friends we tuck so sweetly within our hearts. Like tender florals that are arranged in our favorite vases placed delicately on a table when friends are invited for a nice meal, each color and style of the petals is intended to bring a memory forth. Each tone represents a soothing thought, a characteristic of an individual, and a tertiary aspect of the way personalities combine and balance one another. Like fine wines paired with perfectly made dishes, good friends enhance one another. Color does the same. These delicately painted florals are placed lightly around the love, which takes center stage, to remind the viewer that without themselves, these friendships and relationships would not be the same. So gather, and place this piece where it will be seen by those it reminds you of. Place your favorite flowers nearby. Serve your favorite dishes. Pour your favorite wines. Then sit, and tell the stories of how you met, and what makes your friendships and relationships so special. Then share which part of this piece reminds you of one another. This is your story.
