Samuel S.Hoskins Statement on Winter: Delving into the symbolism of winter, I painted a figure dressed in black, embracing the harvest of autumn.

Samuel S.Hoskins Statement on White Roses: "White Roses" is an endeavor to evoke the enchanting fragrance of roses. One of the most delightful aspects of living in Florence, Italy, is cycling through the outskirts of the city in spring after a refreshing rain shower.

I utilized Viridian Green and Cerulean Blue to capture the cool contrast that rain imparts to the flowers, seeking to encapsulate the sensory experience of those post-rain, blossoming moments.

To symbolize our transformative journey, I depicted a path leading into the forest, illustrating how our life experiences influence our connection with these profound literary works.
