Flowers for Mary Hope by Paul Landry

Flowers for Mary Hope by Paul Landry

A horse and carriage returning to its place for hiring in the park . . . sun struck flowers on a city corner, being chosen for someone special . . .a rainbow under an awning, spread out for easy selection, fresh and clean like morning sunshine . . . just like my sweet and beautiful daughter, Mary Hope.

"This image was inspired by an experience my wife and I had while getting flowers for our daughter. Her name is Mary Hope but we call her Hope. I thought the title 'Flowers for Hope' was too misleading so I used her full name. I also thought I was being clever in my selection of a model, but my son, Joe, said, 'Well, anyone can tell that the person buying flowers is Mom because she always wears pink and purple!'"
