This artwork was inspired by the quote: “stop to smell the roses,” which encompasses one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned. When people have a goal or a dream, they often focus on that aim, neglecting other worthy components of life like relationships and hobbies as if they only look through a zoomed-in telescope that they miss the landscape. The painting asks viewers to step back, “smell the roses,” and take in all that life has to offer.
