Rose Inspirations

Welcome.  I am so happy that you stopped by.  My garden gate is always open for you to come in and sit and relax with a cup of tea while I share with you the inspirations for my art.  With Valentines Day right around the corner I thought it would be fun to share with you some of my photographs of roses (since my roses are not in bloom his time of year) that were the inspirations for  my art.

Finding inspiration - Red Roses . . . . . .




One of my favorite photos of Bentley, my Studio Assistant, stopping to smell the roses!  The rose is the flower of love and has inspired poets, musicians and painters for centuries.  I love painting roses and each time I pick up my brush to paint one I am reminded that roses are a gift to the spirit.





Finding inspiration - White Roses . . . . . .





Finding inspiration - Pink Roses . . . . .











Thank you for stopping by.  I love hearing from you and sincerely appreciate your visits, comments, e-mails and those who follow my blog.  Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to see me paint something special.

Have a lovely week.  Blessings, Erin

Love the picture of Bentley smelling the roses. Your roses remind me of my mother who also had a yard full of many roses.
