Aster is a flower named for the Greek word for star, symbolizing love, wisdom, and hope. I painted this on a day that typically brings me some sadness, to bring some light into the day.

Excerpt from “A Late Walk”, by Robert Frost

…I end not far from my going forth

By picking the faded blue

Of the last remaining aster flower

To carry again to you.
