Mary's Roses, 7x5 Floral Oil Painting by Carmen Beecher



These roses were part of Mary's birthday celebration, and I loved the fact that they had so much green in them. They were a challenge to paint, but I really like the result. When it comes to painting, a rose is not always a rose. Sometimes it's a peony. Or just a messy blob. I'm very happy with these.
