Little Pink Roses


One morning my neighbor stopped by to give me two very small rose buds she had picked on her walk.  The rose buds had no leaves, just two inch stems.  I looked for a small container for them.  The best I could find was a glass bowl about four inches in diameter.  I put the bowl with the rose buds on my table and watched them for several days as they gradually opened up.  Each day I recorded their development with my camera.  I used the roses in full bloom for the painting above.
