I consider myself a young lady of many talents. I can my play an instrument, I can play many sports, I can sew, etc...Now I have grown a new talent and that is, drawing. Reason being, when I improvise on my trombone I express myself a much as I can through my horn because I don't get many chances to expressing myself to people as much as I should. When I draw I feel the same way.
The picture that I have chosen to show is the picture I drew of a Dandelion. Reason being, the dandelion, surprisingly, is one of my favorite flowers. It is because I feel that dandelions is a flower that represents letting go of problems in life to me. For this reason, when you blow or when the wind blows on the dandelion the pedals blow away. I feel that when I blow the pedals of a dandelion I'm blowing away the problems that I am having in life, the fears I have in life, the detours, etc... Moreover, having the joy to blowing the dandelion away is therapeutic to me.
I never really considered dandelions in their fluffy, white state flowers; this is a fascinating suggestion. I have always wondered why people call the bright, yellow, sweet smelling dandelions weeds (until I planted my first rose garden), but once the dandelions puffed out I forgot they were still flowers. Your post offers me a way to see inspiration in the misunderstood. Thank you.
