National Rose Month: Day 21

“Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says For the woman I love and the second, For my best friend.”

—Saint Augustine

In this painting I wanted to play with the different shades of creamy white and the warm colors found in the center of some of these roses. The red roses are the divas that demand your attention in the center of the composition. The soft grey background keeps the focus on the beautiful forms of the roses.
