More and more roses

For some reason i had never thought about painting roses before.   But now i have a rose garden in full bloom so am a bit consumed by the maintenance and care they require.    I decided to try to paint them after several people lately have said how diffocult it is to paint them.     They were so right.   It is hard.     But fun.     

Im going back to an early painting style i was doing in the 1960s.     Feels good.
