This single peach colored rose is quite dramatic on its nearly black background. It is painted on an oval wooden plaque which is six inches tall. Look closely and you will see a honeybee hovering just below the flower.

Peach Roses on Slate with Brick Wall
Lush peachy pink colored roses in all stages of blooming are painted in acrylics as they climb a brick wall on a 19″ X 12″ piece of old roofing slate. Some roses are heavy with petals glistening in the sun, others are barely opened buds or drying rose hips. The background bricks were inspired by the dark stains imbedded in the old slate. My signature insect here is a pale Malachite butterfly.
