And that's all I could think of as I painted this gorgeous red rose this morning. And Tim's favorite color rose is red, and we have two beaurtiful rose bushes because of that. Left to my own devices I'd fill the garden with pinks, both vivid and pale, white, yellow, orange and lavendar roses. But I have to admit... when the light hits these roses they're electric red. It's funny, this one just flowed out of me... I didn't second guess myself or struggle. I did think of Carol Marine's post today about when things 'glow'... And I think I'm getting closer to achieving my goal of being able to paint roses this Summer.... and just in the nick of time, too! :)
Wow!
