Pretty Pink Bouquet of Ruffly Roses

Went to the Studio to paint this week, so I have something for Paint Party Friday. It was pouring rain which means, I couldn't get anything from the garden. It was just too wet and muddy. When will this rain ever stop? It's seems like it's been flooding forever here in New Jersey. I stopped by the grocery store instead and they had these gorgeous pink roses on clearance. They called me to paint their picture. I painted using watercolors in my new  large scale  format 22"x30", I am so loving the large size. Please forgive me for the blurry photos, just couldn't get enough light on this gloomy day.There's a photo of the rose inspiration and where they sit in our living room.

Hope you'll see something pretty this week.
take care, gerri

    You've so captured these roses... a great painting indeed. I've just caught up on 2 weeks worth of your posts... have no idea why I stopped getting email notices but I've resubscribed so hopefully all is well. It was a pleasure catching up on all your new creations. Have a great weekend!

    You did a fabulous job of the roses Gerri! And I love the background. Great colours!

    BTW, can you please link to your POST rather than to your blog so PPFers can come directly to the right post? Thank you!
