Roses on My Table


"I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck."
Emma Goldman



"By Any Other Name"

watercolor 10 x 14

      I painted this rose from my mom's garden as a gift for someone last year. I gotta say that using all those bright colors and painting more wet in wet than I usually do was very exciting. I'd forgotten about that. Must try to remember it now :)

      Ahhh, roses. They just say love and summer don't they?

  4. Oh my goodness Crystal! At very first glance I thought this was a photograph! but then I realised it was far too beautiful to be a photograph. I mean a camera couldn't possibly pick up so much exquisite detail and colour. If I could paint only half as good as you can, I would be so, so happy!

  10. Crystal,
    Great work here, this painting is rich and very detailed. It sort of glows with color and what is better is the manageable size. Bravo.
