Roses

The velvet leaves of roses are so perfectly beautiful and so alluring to capture and yet so disappointing when most attempts are less appealing compared to the real thing. I am not a gardener; I am an artist and my approach to something beautiful is that I prefer to make reproduction that at least equally beautiful and preferably even more beautiful than the original. It is a tough challenge for roses. This is a search. My search. These paintings are made in aquarelle technique.
