English Rose 11"x14"x1" Acrylic on wood
Hello there!
This fair-haired miss is one of the two rose-girls that will round out this group of flower paintings. This one (inspired by my favorite roses, David Austin's Carding Mill rose) is very quiet and gentle and so very graceful. The next one is a very different sort of rose. More on that front soon.
I'm excited it's the weekend, even though I usually work straight through them. I think we'll go see Brave tonight or tomorrow. Little rough-and-tumble archeress and bears? How could I resist?
Josiah read a review that said the film was a step back for Pixar, artistically (meaning, it's not as innovative.) But isn't it a not-insignificant step forward that it is their first film in thirteen total that has a female protagonist? I nearly cried when I put that together. They make such clever movies, but they couldn't get it together 'til now to make a clever movie about a girl? So I want to support it for that reason alone.
Well, that and the bears.
