(Oil: 18X24)

I am not into flowers but I am fascinated by the many colors of the various flowers. I came across a photo of a single rose to paint because I wanted the challenge, the practice, the experience of it. I chose the Rose because it seems to hold mystical powers, magical powers, to the many who give or receive a single rose. Sometimes a dozen roses are involved and sometimes more but this painting is about one rose. There seems to be some wonderful feelings that come alive, or are validated, when a rose is given or received by a significant other. The rose seems to be the symbol of romance but i have no idea as to the why of it. The why it seems to hold mystical, magical, powers is a mystery to me.
