“I chose this painting for the Cambridge Home theme. This painting’s name is breathing again. It is related to me as a woman who is a newcomer to Canada. I found among the nature of this place the peace I was looking for. Cambridge has this beautiful nature where you can find the landscape everywhere. Flowers with different colors all spring and summer. This lady is sitting among the flowers enjoying the place which reminds me of the beautiful flowers in Cambridge and the people who are enjoying in parks that are everywhere in Cambridge.”
