When I finished painting my mother's blue and white plate I found other items to paint before coming back to Illinois. The rose was live, and deliciously fragrant. 
The vase's soft pastels set the tone for the rest of the painting. I would like to have painted it again with a darker, more dramatic background.
Maybe some day...
This painting is listed with, and for sale through a Dailypaintworks auction.
