Climbing White Roses

22x15 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Saunders Waterford I finished previously. These pale roses are at studio front and I snapped several photos when they were blooming at their peak then painted them. With the recent rains, the rosebush is blooming madly. Not happy with the mid section it was reworked and more negative leaves, stems, and thorns added. My favorite part is the rosebud upper right. It was painted wet in wet. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
