The Story Behind Your PaintingLike the flowers in my painting, the title is “Forget Me Not.” These flowers symbolize remembrance, luck, hope and faithfulness. Too often we underestimate or forget the sacrifices that our military men and women and their families make for this great country of ours. They proudly fight for God and country and the freedom we enjoy. The yellow cross of ribbon symbolizes the hope, remembrance, faith, love, and acceptance of the loved ones who anxiously await their return. I am in awe of our military who are willing to give life and limb to defend our homeland. In return, it is our duty to honor and support these brave men and women with prayer, thanksgiving, love, healing and help for their future.
