There's an inherent beauty and mystique to the process of change; the resiiience of nature's resolutions as small souvenirs of time. I regard these studies as quiet biographies: painted chronicles of blooms, buds, leaves and exotic flowers on their often-rapid paths to decay. I am merely recording the evolution of their botanical lives.
