She loved roses

I don't paint commissions because I have a difficult time painting "on demand", but when a lovely lady contacted me and asked if I could recreate a painting she saw me show on YouTube I immediately agreed. She asked me to change the color of roses to red and yellow, and to add an angel wing.
I agreed because there was a story behind it, she had a reason for wanting this painting. It touched my heart, and I couldn't wait to transfer the emotions into paint. The whole process left me feeling fulfilled, and happy with knowledge that through our art we can sometimes connect to people who need it and help them in a very small way. A good, humbling feeling.

  9. Lovely, and somehow I think your thoughts about who "needed" this show through. Your roses always amaze me.

  10. Both the original and this new one are beautiful. How sweet of you to do the painting again.

    Your roses are always so lovely. I've never mastered them (I still have my DVD of rose painting.)
