Rose Garden


I know I said I was going to paint something other than flowers, but, I just keep seeing all of these gorgeous flowers all over Dallas.  This painting is inspired by a house that I have passed by on my walks.  I drove by the other day with my kids in the car, stopped and snapped a bunch of photos.  My kids were at first shocked and then said, "oh, are you going to paint this house?"  I only embellished the flowers slightly.  The house does have all of these fabulous roses growing in abundance.  They even have some sort of column type trellis that the climbing roses go up in the center and then billow out of the top.  It is truly a sight right now.

    Liana I can understand your not resisting painting flowers when you see something like this, must be a beautiful sight and your painting really gives credit. Love the looseness and the atmosphere.

    Your painting is Beautiful! I love the whole scene and the colors are so vibrant they make the whole painting come alive. Paint what feels good, even if it is flowers : )
    Hugs,
