Eyes for you
Eyes for you is an old fashioned style rose which I have in my front garden. It has the most amazing fragrance and very striking blossoms which I couldn’t resist painting. I had great fun painting the rain drops and I really like what they bring to the painting.

Pretty in Pink
This pink rose is also in my front garden and I can’t remember it’s name which is why I’ve called it Pretty in Pink. I was struck by the fragility of the petals but also their density and a certain crisp quality to their edges. There weren’t actually any raindrops on the rose when I took the photo but I couldn’t resist adding a few.

Valentine’s red rose
I painted this red rose for Valentine’s day 2021. It’s another from my front garden and this one is a rambler which sprawls all over the front of the house with a purple clematis intertwined through it. I loved the intensity of the shadows in this rose and the almost tactile chunkiness of the centre.
