A Rose is a Rose, 9" x 12", Watercolor (SOLD)


A Rose is a Rose, was inspired by my memory of how wonderful my roses looked last year. My garden had so many gorgeous blooms that I was able to have vases full of them throughout the house, sharing with friends. I cultivated, pruned, fed, watered and tended them, not in that exact order. I took many photos for which I am so thankful. On some beautiful weather days I sat out in my yard painting them. I enjoyed that more than I can express. Oh sigh..this year is different and I have neglected them terribly. Every day I wonder when I feel better after chemo and radiation if my roses will forgive me for this years neglect. Will they ever bloom again as they did in years past? I hope both the roses and I will heal together and play catch up...soon. I hope you enjoy my impressionistic style of painting the rose. Thank you, Ellie Painting is available.
