I painted this rose tonight while corresponding with a friend. It made me happy to be painting a rose after so many skies. I love this friend, about as much as my friend adores my roses.
I painted this subject before, and it sold. I was asked to paint it again and I sold it, too. There's something about the bud of a peony that resonates with some people. I'm happy to have them following me and purchasing my work. Thank you!
