The beautiful rose, by any other name...  would still be just as challenging to paint!
I love roses with all their twists and turns and spiraling shapes that have many changes in color and value.
Painting them presents a challenge though. Depicting their intricacies with various tints and shades of paint requires great observation and a little bit of invention!

 I hope you can almost smell their fragrance, as you look down into this arrangement of long stemmed pink roses,
carnations, and baby's breath.

This little detail show the brushstrokes and texture incorporated into the painting, as well as a few of the subtle
colors that are visible upon closer inspection.
And though it comes unframed, this is what it might look like with a simple black frame:

Colorful and cheerful - a visual reminder that spring is on it's way!

(this beautiful floral could be on it's way to you right away!)
