Roses and Love

LOVE LIKE A ROSE
Watercolor - 8x10

"A rose speaks of love silently in a language 
known only to the heart."

Nothing says love like beautiful roses! They are such a perfectly formed flower that it is a little bit intimidating to try and paint them. You either have to take a very detailed, realistic approach or keep things loose and free with just a hint of detail. I tend to take the loose approach with my watercolor paintings but not with those I love. Everyday I am thankful for the love of my friends and family.
