Wild Roses

2009 Abstract Acrylic on 140 lb. Watercolour paper 24x30" from..... Memories of My Grandmother Series.........When I was a very small boy in Texas, we lived maybe a quarter of a mile from the "Monte" (the Woods) I would go with my grandmama, to the monte to pick wild cherries and flowers, my Grandmother loved flowers, and Roses were her favorite, Funny how I still remember that after all these years. She has been gone now for 30 years this September but I still remember her and going to pick flowers and wild cherries in "The Monte" like it was yesterday, and it makes me cry.......She was the sweetest, kindest, most generous, loving soul that I has ever encountered, in all my travels through time and space, and I know she is still with me, and still looks after me. One bright sunny day in the monte I saw these beautiful, (even as a child I couId recognize beauty, I guess I have always been an artist), didn't know what kind of flowers they were, and I called my grandmama, and was about to pick them, when my grandmama, said No, don't pick them....for they were "Wild Roses" supposely rare. She said they were free spirits that grew in the wild, and someday mi hijo, (my son) I will be like them. Still makes me cry......
