The Watch By Adrienne Balkum
It is a 5×5 canvas where I painted with acrylic paint using a palette knife.
One of the most interesting flowers are the Begonia. The yellow primary color symbolizes the watchfulness of a guard dog than the anxiety of expecting the worst. The story is the connections between people and good communication. Since the naming of the flower was a tribute to a helpful public official, you can also give a potted Begonia to someone who helps you finish up some paperwork or expedite a decision. Historically, they were given as a message to watch out. Often Begonias with the golden colors stand out from the crowd and feature their own individual nature.
As I sculpted the yellow and gold paint it was not hard to remember how very few stood out from the crowd. My hope is the colors to symbolize happiness and contentment as I give this gift to whom symbolizes The Watch.
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23
This is a kindness project that I’m pursuing to be intentional with my time and gifting these little works to some special people.
