Fondness

Gentle, charming, captivating look - such words are asked when looking at this painting with roses. For writing the canvas, saturated and at the same time muted colors were chosen. Rose, rose’s buds and the leaves were 3d sculpted with texture paste by using a palette knife. Thanks to this, the canvas turned out to be alive and voluminous.
The attractiveness of this painting with roses is given by saturated shades and a spectacular play of light and shadow. The central part of the painting is occupied by big white pearl rose. Most of the buds have already opened, showing us their beauty, others are still closed.
Rose is my favorite flower. It is impossible to walk past a rose without fixing your enthusiastic gaze on it. The true queen is the queen of flowers. As befits a real queen, the rose is very persistent, besides, this flower has character - look at its thorns. What delicate petals! Like diamonds, dew drops on the petals shimmer in the sun!
