"Bouquet of Petunias" by Jane Peterson (in private collection)
Spotted: 08 March 2018, "Art Pics Channel" on Twitter
Looked for leads for an appropriate essay on petunias in time for the observance of International Women's Day. In a simple Google search, according to FlowerMeaning.com, "petunias are... a symbol of not losing hope."
Then I remembered Leni, Lourdes, Conchita, Leila, Risa, Kaka, Serena, Jover, Raissa, Maria (Ressa) and the women of Rappler, and the female students and faculty of Saint Scholastica's... I am very thankful for their steely determination in fighting the good fight, for their articulation and bravery in speaking out the sentiment and conscience of the Filipino people.
The artist Jane Peterson was also remarkably an independent woman during her time. More information about her in Wikipedia and the Caldwell Gallery.
