Seems fitting for the end of the week, no? These watercolor paintings are the work of Canadian artist\u00a0Rose Currie <\/a>{aka Rose Lemonade}<\/em>.\u00a0They are from her\u00a0“Wallflower” series<\/a>, and\u00a0when I first saw them I thought they were hilarious… until Rose told me\u00a0what they’re actually about. A few years ago Rose came face to face with cancer. She spent over a year in the hospital, away from her family and three small sons. It was a terrible time for her, and her recovery has been very taxing as well. She basically put her whole life, including art, on the back-burner while she concentrated on her fight… thankfully a fight that she seems to be winning. However, when people found out she was going to survive the general response was, “Oh, well then why so down in the dumps? You should cheer up!”<\/em> \u00a0No energy, her life upside down, years lost… yes she was grateful that she’d gotten through the worst of it, but was apparently not in the mood to “cheer the fuck up”. I’m happy to report that she’s feeling much better, and in the process we got these fantastic paintings!<\/p>\n

In fact, one of you<\/strong> will get an 13″x19″ print to help you “CALM THE FUCK DOWN”. Yep, I have that very direct message made of pink blossoms to give away!<\/strong> Leave a comment below and I’ll draw one name on Monday May 23rd at noon PST. If you can’t wait that long, you can also buy these very affordable prints from Rose’s shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
