Red Rose

I have always loved flowers in the garden, never in cut form in the house. Flowers last an entire 2 – 3 seasons while outside and only fleetingly inside. I prefer to enjoy their beauty longer vs shorter.
I see houses without flowers or plants of any kind and wonder what life form lives there? Plants and flowers will grow with little to no encouragement, a bit of water from the sky, and voilà we have an abundance of life. Without interference, life grows dies and returns, each year. What a miracle.

I love the detail on this flower it exudes beauty, life and colour. It was as true pleasure to draw.
