A Love Affair with Roses

My mother had a rose garden that I was responsible for weeding when I was a child.   You would have thought that would have made me dislike roses but it didn't.  My brother says that there are some people that love flowers and then there is me.   It's true.  I have a love affair with flowers and in particular roses.   I have 89 of them.   Call it an addiction, I can't help myself.   Each one is precious to me.  Each one has a name.  Many people ask me how I get my flowers to bloom so well,  I tell them that I talk to them. I tell them how beautiful they are and they hear me.  

 

"A Love Affair with Roses" will be on exhibit at my two person show "He Said, She Said" with John Pototschnik at Highlands Art Gallery in Lambertville, NJ Oct 19, 2019.

A friend in my art class took a workshop with you Rachelle Witt and Kelly Witt. I love flowers especially Roses. I'd like to work on still life paintings. She has been using u tube from you and doing so well. I can set up art room in my house. I need your help as to getting started,I have easel oil paints . I live in SantaYnez,Ca.

I met Elizabeth at Great Falls during the Western Art Show recently. The lady is impressive beyond measure. Clearly it was 'love at first site'! Being the gentleman I am, I let her down easy. LOL After viewing your website, Elizabeth, I understand your passion and dedication so much more. I applaud you for your work and your generous nature. What a joy to have insight into your profession and your life. Thank you for sharing!

This still-life painting looks realistic and amazing. Thanks for showing this painting and about these flowers. I also make still-life paintings and mini canvas paintingshttps://theartfellows.com/ .
