"She Loves Me Not"
13x25, Mixed media on wood

As I pulled the final petal from the poor mutilated flower, my worst fears came true. "She loves me not" echoed through my mind like an annoying yet catchy song. But this time, instead of watering the remaining flowers with my tears, I vowed to keep at it, pulling petal after petal from the beautiful flowers until I found the love I longed for admist their naked stumps.
