“Friendship plants itself as a small unobtrusive seed; over time, it grows thick roots that wrap around your heart”. -Anna Lyndsey

My mom asked if I would paint a daisy image for the cover of a yearbook she was compiling. The yearbook was for PEO, a women’s group she has been part of for over 40 years. I have so much respect for the work and relationships she and her friends have nurtured through that organization. Like the seeds of a daisy, those friendships have grown thick roots around not only their hearts, but mine as well. (You know it is a deep friendship, when love extends to an adult daughter.)

So, here is the daisy, which I was delighted and honored to paint, and may their friendships continue to bloom for many years to come.
