Still Life-Roses

This was one of my favorite set ups in a workshop recently given by Carlene Reeves. The roses were fresh from her garden. The pink ones are Belinda's Dream, which last a long time and have a lovely fragrance. The green vase and pink roses looked so beautiful together that I couldn't resist painting them. The white rose was a nice addition and added a charm to the arrangement.

Gorgeous, Gaye! I love the green apple and vase with the beautiful pink and white roses. You did a terrific job painting the delicate roses. I love it!

The roses are gorgeous, Gaye! I love the color combination, too. You have such a nice looseness to your work, something I strive for myself.

Wow, Gaye. These still life paintings you're doing are flat out gorgeous. Can't wait to see them in person. (And YOU, of course!)
