The Rose


The Rose    SOLD
I can't believe it but this is the first rose I have painted and it was really
fun to paint it from life, since my house seems to be full of flowers.
Thought you might enjoy this quote from Eleanor.


I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.Eleanor Roosevelt
