Painting a rosa; one of nature's kisses (of which there are many). Flowers hold a pure kind of beauty; true beauty. They're oblivious to their loveliness, swaying in the wind or growing tall under the sun, in an elegant show of fragility. That is one reason why I enjoy painting them and capturing them in my own way, because they are so meaningful to me. This painting was inspired by white columbian roses gifted to me by my husband. I wanted to focus on their fullness but also change the cream white to a deep red and play up with texture here and there.
