This is an original oil painting signed by Laurel, framed in a heavily distressed, handcrafted, 22k water gilded frame with red undertones and a softening patina over the panel. Outside dimensions of the frame measure 15 1/4" x 15 1/4" x 1 1/4" depth.

Snowball flowers grow on the large trees in our back yard and each spring they are a wonder to walk under. I cut some stems and put them in a clay pot, then placed it in our kitchen window along with some lemons and set up my easel right by the kitchen sink to paint this moody floral.

Our newspapers and television keep giving us the message: What counts is to be known, praised, and admired. Still, real greatness is often hidden, humble, simple, and unobtrusive. It has become difficult to trust ourselves and our actions without public affirmation. We must have strong self-confidence combined with deep humility. Some of the greatest works of art and the most important works of peace were created by people who had no need for the limelight. They knew that what they were doing was their call, and they did it with patience, perseverance, and love. -Henri Nouwen
