Wonderful piece in a shabby chic, cottage, cabin look with pretty shades of pale pinks and green. Nice as part of a grouping for a gallery wall or home office. Every summer I look forward to all the varieties of wild and domestic blooming roses and their fragrance.

This was drawn from old climbing roses which have, by their habit, gone wild. It was created on a piece of appx. 16" x 19" Ramboard, a heavy construction grade of chipboard type paper. Although the substrate is rough, this artwork has a soft and casual feeling. The last photo shows it in a standard frame and mat. Will be shipped unframed and insured in rigid cardboard packaging. less
