Just one little sliver of sunlight crept through the blind and that was all it took to illuminate these old roses in a tiny glass vase. I stood in my kitchen and sketched this as quickly as possible before the light changed.
These are roses that I grow, an unbelievably bright pink pasture rose and an ancient deep red sweet-smelling climbing tea rose. Blooming plentifully in June, I placed them in an inexpensive glass bowl; they fall apart rather quickly but I still wanted to enjoy them indoors.
I had prepared a number of drawing surfaces on old pieces of mat board, this being a combination of gesso and marble dust applied in a thick impasto, leaving deep brush marks for whatever I drew on it. Painted en plein air, even though I was inside.
ABOUT SMALL ROSES
The original painting is sold, but I have prints on paper and canvas. You can also check for gift items with this design by searching "Small Roses".
SHIPPING AND CHARGES
Shipping within the US is included in the cost of each print.
Prints up to 16" x 20" are shipped flat in a rigid envelope. Larger prints are shipped rolled in a mailing tube unless otherwise requested; flat shipping is an extra cost because it's oversized.
