I sketched this sweet little blossom a few months ago, and saved a spot on the page for the hips, which are just forming now. Rosa glauca has to be one of the most beautiful species roses, with its amazing purple/blue/gray/green leaves. I had trouble reproducing the color of the leaves in my sketch but my new scanner made them even greener than I painted them. Oh well, they do have a blush of pink on them anyway!

About My Blog
This blog is about my journey as a botanical artist--what I am learning, what inspires me and what I am currently drawing or painting. My desire is to continually hone my skills to better express my wonder and gratitude for the beauty of the creation around me in the Pacific Northwest (USA).
I love the lightness and delicate attention to color you’ve used!
How organised you are Janene! Love this.
Beautiful Janene, like the Opera sketches too!
Wonderful job with the texture of the petals and the leaves…and my oh my the colors are gorgeous!
=) You’d definitely brought these floras into life ^^
Thanks Peachtreeart, Sue, Debra and Alex!
