Rescued Rose 2

I should call this blog "keeping myself entertained when i can't sleep" ! Its now 4am and I've been awake for the last two hours.Tonight though, or this morning I thought I would paint instead of trying to sleep.I think I should practice painting roses more often as I find them the hardest and most frustrating.If it were'nt for all the fantastic comments on the previous post I might have given up on this thorny subject for a while.

Rescued Rose

Its one of those days where although I'm not entirely happy with the way I've painted this rose but I am sure glad to be painting again.This rose broke from a bouquet but I could'nt throw it away because its a waste of such beauty and should have its day.
