This was my second piece I think. I painted for my friend/co-worker. She had found out her mom had breast cancer about 6 months prior.

I love my grandmother dearly and she happens to love my art, go figure. Any one who really knows me well can tell you that I have a great sense of humor, I contribute some of that to her. I painted this for her birthday recently. I know it isn't a good quality pic, but I put her children's name's and grand children's names in the lily pads. She loved it.
I was going through a really rough time when I painted this piece. There are a couple of things that amaze me about this piece; first, is that it seems to be a lot of my friends favorite piece and secondly, everyone has a different interpretation of what they see when they look at it. This piece taught me that there are good things that come out of not so good situations.
