A sepal, petal, and a thornUpon a common summer's morn,
A flash of dew, a bee or two,A breeze
A caper in the trees, --
And I'm a rose!
(-Emily Dickinson)

Love Chihuly's work...saw a documentary about him and his installations years ago...fascinating. Thanks for the reminder to stop and smell the roses...we are all so busy most of the time!
I love the mellow color of the paper for your roses, Sue! Lovely! Enjoy Walla Walla!! :)
How do you get to do so much good painting Madame???
Oh a rose is a rose but when Sue paints it, it is a GLORIOUS ROSE. Lovely paintings.
Enjoy your Tuesday too in Walla Walla. Love the name. :)
Love these delicate roses and thought your post on Chihuly was brilliant - not come across his work before. Came from Merisi.
thanks, all!
Virtual--thanks for visiting and hope you get a chance to see some more Chihuly sometime--he's excellent!
