Marsh Marigold Buds

Marsh Marigold Buds
Oil On Gallery Wrap Canvas
16*20



100% of this painting will be donated to Ratanak and Place of Rescue, in Cambodia. Their primary purpose is to prevent and protect children from the horrors of human trafficking.

Through the Open Door Art Exhibition will be held from March 3 -31, with an opening reception March 10th at the  Mad Platter Bistro, 20 McLeod Ave, Spruce Grove.


I  chose to paint Marsh Marigold buds. These flower buds are the fruit of the mother plant and are being protected by leaves. As the buds grow bigger into flowers the mother plants’ leafs opens to let them bloom.  The connection here is to protect the young, life is precious and everybody has a right to a fair chance.  Children need protection and guidance to grow and bloom. Victims of human trafficking need so much more, but there is still hope for them to bloom with the help of Ratanak and Place of Rescue.
