“I Egg Your Parton (I Never Promised You A Rose Garden)”

Surreal collage on 11 in. x 14 in. black canvas with metallic polka-dot washi tape edging (incorporating magazine AND flower catalog paper imagery, spray paint, acrylic paint, and glossy Mod Podge sealant)

"Rose Garden" performed by Lynn Anderson (and later, I believe, Dolly Parton) is found on YouTube


Parton's comments, quoted below, bring to mind my favorite word, petrichor, defined by Oxford Languages as a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather:

"I make a point to appreciate all the little things in life.  I go out and smell the air after a good, hard rain.  These small actions help remind me that there are so many great, glorious pieces of good in the world."  - D. P.
