Close Friends

Close Friends
12 x 16 Oil Painting
by Pat Fiorello

After working on Cascading Roses ( posted recently at  http://patfiorello.blogspot.com/2015/11/cascading-roses-revised.html ) ,
I've gotten more interested in painting flowers up close in the garden setting as a change of pace from the still lifes.  I've decided to pursue these "gardenscapes" further and  to create a series for an upcoming show next spring.

I called this one "Close Friends" as I like the intimate feeling and viewpoint and that the roses of different sizes and stages of development are clustered close to one another.
