Priscilla

"Priscilla"
12" x 12"
Oil on wrapped canvas
Slowly, she unfurled one petal after another to reveal her tender bits. Priscilla's heavenly scent would now attract a myriad buzzing suitors to gather her fragrant pollen. Imagine the taste of the honey this beauty might flavour. 

It's been a while since I've painted a rose, my favourite subject matter.

Mademoiselle Minet

"Mademoiselle Minet"
24" x 24"
Oil on wrapped canvas
She was stretching like a kitten in the morning sun when I happened upon her.  Yesterday she was little more than a bud, but today she had opened herself to ... possibilities.

I've painted this image before; large and small, rectangular and now a large square. She captivates me each time.  I love the colours I find in this white rose. She wears them with graceful ardor.

If it's a special day for you, this beauty honours that occasion.

Chastity

"Chastity"
6"x 6"
Oil on hardboard
Chastity is new in the bed.  Fresh as the morning.  Innocence exudes from every scented petal.  Come.  Inhale her.  Delight in her youth.


One virgin rose
white 'stead of red
Extends to him
her maiden's head.

This quick sketch of Chastity whetted my appetite for this bloom. I want to paint her large with more pink.  I'd like to make her at least two feet by two feet.

Thank you for peeking in to see her.
