Title: “DAHLIA MOON”
Size: 28.75” W x 27” H (unframed)
Story:
The first time my son, Philip who was 5, asked me, “Where did I come from Mommy?” I just gulped. Not yet prepared to discuss the birds and bees, I stammered a couple of times, and then it came to me, flowers. “Well son, one beautiful night in spring your Dad and I were watching TV (ha-ha). Outside the wind blew the tall pines across the bright light of Mr. Moon. He looked just like a beautiful white dahlia, as big white clouds circled like puffs of hydrangea. The sweet scent of jasmine and verbena were in the air. Mommy was dressed like a 1940’s movie star and your Dad and I wished and wished upon a red fiery star for a perfect little boy. Come winter, there you were.” That’s the story and I’m sticking to it.
