Peace Roses in Bud Vase

12x9 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper begun yesterday and finished today.  I grew these at my studio until something killed the rosebush so all I have now are the photos.  Background is light neutral grey pattern design mixed by brushing all leftover colors together then applying with large round brush on wet paper.  It is supposed to resemble lacy curtains and a shabby chic look.
