A New Day (framed) - Original Oil Painting

Canvas Size - 11x14

I recall the hour—
it ever so apparent.
Eluding my mind—
until this day in the present.
A existence so trying as never before…

In the rain falling—
yes, the gentle rain falling.
It was then, only there—
when I recognized the calling.
A time present and me asking for more…

A new day, it was—
now I had found one.
My yearning for thee—
and the wait I had done.
I’m here, and now one to look for!

This painting is of a beautiful sunflower, patiently hoping/waiting for its partner to bloom as the sky grows darker, leaving it alone and vulnerable, although it still puts on a bright & happy face to show that it's not afraid. Each section of paint has its own deep meaning. It's a '400 page book' in a painting.

The painting is done in oil paint, on a 11x14 inch canvas (already mounted in a wooden, museum-style frame). I used only a palette knife to complete the painting (except for my signature in the bottom right corner).
