Favorite Rose Piece

It has been quite some time since I last posted! Please forgive me! I have just recently finished several art pieces this one included...out of all the rose paintings that I've done this has to be my favorite. I can't even really explain why, LOL! This rose is from our rose garden, after countless pictures, sketches, concept ideas, color mixing and finally painting it...it's finished.
