If she said so

The Spark: 
This was my revenge piece, but it wasn't the loud scream in your face kind. It was the sweet, smile while you watch kind. A reminder that just because she said it, doesn't make it true. 


The Base: 
I started with a soft blush - deceptively delicate. A surface that looked harmless, even quiet. 


The First Marks: 
Then came the green leaf lines, they sprawled across the canvas like little interruptions, the background noise of other people's chatter. 


The Build: 
Flowers began to creep in. Loose, playful, but already making their presence known. 


The Shift: 
The palette knife came out and suddenly the blooms weren't suggestions anymore - they were bold, sculptural, impossible to ignore. Stark white daises and unapologetic fuchsia florals. They layered over everything else, louder than the whispers underneath. 


The Messy Middle: 
At times I second guessed myself. That was part of it too - the overthinking that always happens when someone tries to shrink you with their words. 


The Final Bloom: 
By the end, the canvas was crowded, defiant, alive. A wall of blooms that refused to be dismissed.  and when you looked at it from a different angle it sparkled. 


The Message: 
This is one is a reminder: people can talk, they can throw around opinions, they can make up completely false narratives, but they don't get to define you.
