Legacy

'Legacy', 8"x8", acrylic on canvas, ©Dawn Eaton

I have been struggling with titles and words lately, so I asked my friends on my Facebook page to share their thoughts and insights.

What a great idea! :)

Those who shared caught the essence of what began to surface during the painting process AND gave me a deeper appreciation for what was happening on the canvas.
With their permission (Thank you!), here are a couple of those comments:

"What stands out to me is not the pink in the flowers but rather the seeds in the center. It makes me think of how those "seeds" create new life and beauty." - Jonathan

"The flowers shown are in a progression from immature to mature, so mature was the first thing I thought of...process, growth, maturation, but I also see self-confidence and joy and self-assurance. That flower in the front is like a matriarch...confident and sure." - Mary


To leave a legacy  - A life-giving, beautiful legacy... 
To sow seeds and intentionally invest in the next generation...

Sounds like a life (a day!) well lived.


Please share your own responses - they are such a gift!
