Roses are always so intricate and inspiring. Their blooms seem to come on slowly and dazzle the garden with their beauty. I didn't quite capture the true color of this one but I'm pleased with the look. Actually it is a little more peach than it is pink.
I originally had a softer more illusive background in place. But decided to go with the darker background, I think the dark background really makes the image of the single rose pop off the paper. Did you notice the 'almost hidden' bud peeking out from behind the stem?
This original artwork is currently on display at the David Strawn Art Gallery in Jacksonville, IL until Nov 28.
To purchase this piece between now and Nov 28th, please contact the gallery at 217-243-9390.
