Watercolor Wildflowers
Categories for this website are: life, scenery, watercolor painting, and wildflowers.
When you think about humanity, we’re all wild flowers. We are born from the love and passion of our parents. We’re not cultivated on a farm. We come from each other. And that’s what wild flowers do. So, Watercolor Wildflowers dot com is about capturing the beauty of wildflowers whether they’re young or old. Wildflowers decorate the earth and add color to a landscape; in fact wildflowers are transformative to a landscape.
There’s that song by Lana Del Rey, “Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?” Age is no reason to stop loving someone. We go through life and yes, we have changes, but we’re still people. Be careful not to equate your age or beauty with happiness though. When I don’t feel good about the way that I look, it causes unhappiness, and then depression, and that leads to even more misery. So, consider yourself a beautiful wildflower and love who you are, at whatever age.
