Austin and Silver

Austins & Silver
12 x 16 Oil Painting 

 Here's a larger study of 2 types of David Austin roses- Juliet (the pinkish) and Patience (the whiteish).  All of the David Austin roses are exquisite-  they often have many petals- and can be quite challenging to paint.  I have one rose plant that's doing pretty well so far  here in Atlanta ( not in bloom not, but look great  when they are in season) so I'm going to try out another type to see how those do.  You can see more of what they have to offer at:
