"Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all their life." - Proverbs 22:6 "Parents, do not irritate your children, or they will become discouraged." - Colossians 3:21 "Parents, do not treat your children in such a way as to make them angry. Instead, raise them with Christian discipline and instruction." - Ephesians 6:4 . . . . . . . .Here are a few of my favorite photos from 2017 to date with my Roses shining almost as bright as their collectors and it's an honor to be able to be one of the first Artists introducing the youth to Art in such a form of a Rose sculpture that lasts infinitely. God gets some glory here sometimes wonder how I lucked out as good as I did. . My quick word to both parents and children alike. Respect one another or have faith in yourself and walk away. Respect is a two way street and everyone deserves it. . Want to say a quick word to the Galleries that ask for an elaborate #Artist Statement before viewing or considering Art for their Gallery. 'I'm illiterate a tad and these Art collectors can stand as my Art resume.' . To other Artists; remember when someone comes to you and says they've been a fan of Art their entire life and they want to buy all of your work, and it all started from a Rose sculpture they were given before they knew what Art was. Some homage would be nice. . To everyone else and any mentioned above; THANK YOU! . . . . . . . #Roses #Art #Respect #Inspiration #Love #Sothebys #Christies #Priceless #ROSEMANJ #OneFreeRose #TheFuture #BestQuote #QuoteOfTheDay #ArtWorld #ArtTherapy #CommissionsOpen #ArtAuction #PalmettoRoses #PalmRoses #CoolArt #AuthenticArt #Sculptures #Handmade #BuyLocal #Organic #Natural
