Do Not Forget Me- Original Floral Watercolor Painting

Description

This original watercolor depicts two forget-me-not blooms on a shared stem, angled slightly apart. The flowers are open and present, their pale blue petals held gently around a soft center.

Forget-me-nots are historically tied to remembrance, devotion, and enduring connection. They are small flowers, easily overlooked, yet persistent in where and how they return. In this piece, the paired blooms suggest memory that does not fade with time or distance.

This painting was made with an awareness of what stays. Of the people, moments, and versions of ourselves that continue to exist quietly, even when they are no longer visible in the same way. The flowers do not ask to be noticed. They simply remain.

Painted on Arches watercolor paper, this work is part of a symbolic floral collection rooted in personal lived experience and shared human emotion.

Symbolism

Forget-me-nots have long symbolized remembrance, lasting attachment, and fidelity to memory. Their small scale speaks to the quiet ways love and experience endure. Here, the two blooms suggest shared memory. Held gently, carried forward, and not released.
