Roses In The Breeze

One of three rose bushes on the side of our home was the object of this painting. It was a sunny day and the wind was blowing which prompted the name of this post. These three lively rose trees provide healthy flowers from spring until late fall and seem to always be bouncing like they are dancing. The other trees sprout yellow and orange roses. I like the amount of detail in this work. The ochre band in the background was added for more interest. Ink and watercolor.

I love it - it seems so simple, yet it keeps pulling your eye back to look one more time. What are the dimensions, if I may ask?

Hi Jim and Christine--

Thanks for stopping by to give me your thoughts. Christine-- my painting fits into an 11" x 14" mat. Stop by again soon.
