Simple Miss Rose

She’s a simple lady who understands the complex beauty around her.

Painting details: A faceless young woman lounges in the sand where a single rose has blossomed. She’s wearing a basic high neck brown long sleeve sweater and an ankle length hunter green skirt. Her bare feat touch the sand as one hand reaches for the single rose. There’s a tad bit of blue at the top of the painting and a small green ribbon in her hair. When viewed larger you can see a very light pattern as if the painting was created directly on linen.

  • Austin, this is so beautiful. [I know not everything in the world to do with roses has anything to do with me, I just LOVE them, and this!]

  • I happen to believe that all sunflower art is created for me. I think you should be able to believe all rose art has to do with you. Take the roses girl, take ‘em but I lay claim on sunflowers…..and peppermint….you’ve gotta claim some other kind of candy cause peppermint is mine :-)

  • You can have the peppermints if I can have the caramels. :-)

    We knew a psychiatrist once who had a gigantic print of a Monet sunflower behind his desk. It made the room much easier to be in… but I don’t know what painting it’s from.
