"One of Many Susans," a Rectangular Acrylic Mini Painting

In This Season is a celebration of childhood. There are few things in life that we get to experience twice, but childhood is one of them – as children ourselves and then as parents.

I don't remember exactly when my little girl began bringing me things she found in the yard, but she was very very young. My little sister was a flower picker too, and it struck me as sweet and a little funny that they both went through this phase. About a year ago, I started photographing the things she brought to me.
