Artist's Comments

Well, there is a sotry behind this piccy. First off, it has a BG. I never do BG's but this one, tehres a reason. Theres also a reason for it being flowers, bright ones at that.

When I first started at walmart, there were a few souls I met and helped me learn what it was I needed to do and how. One of those was our Master Gardener, John Miles. We always knew him by John, and he was one of those cankerous old farts you cant help but love. Always in his shorts, (which wed always tease him abut those knobby knees he had :)) and his green master gardener hat, he was a sight anyone knew and well, customers did too!

Sadly, recently he had a stroke which left him for the worse. Walmart really had led to his death. I was very shaken by it. But and drawings this, certainly helped through it. So here's to you John, wherever you are. Hope ya find a better life ;)
