How do you paint a rose?
I sat to paint a rose
Hills and valleys is what I got
Dark downs , light ups
How do you paint a rose?
She lives in tight closure
Her mind faced inward
As she ages her petals widen
How do you paint a rose?
Paler and never darker is that which catches light
Darker and never lighter are the parts that hold the rain
How do you paint a rose?
She must be kept
She must be seen
How do you paint a rose?
I must keep her alive!

It’s beautiful, Sandy. Art isn’t a photograph of your subject, it’s a reflection of your perspective.
