It's SWAP group time again, and this is the painting I did for the swap. This time it didn't go far, as my partner Christine is from New York. I grow these "Love and Peace" roses in my backyard. The painting is 5x7.
"Love and Peace" is a hybrid of "Peace" and something else which they don't specify. The yellows and reds are a a bit darker, and not as subtle as "Peace".
I've grown Peace Roses before and just love their warm colors. This is a beautiful hybrid of those. Your treatment of them is just great with the subtle value shift between the background and flower.
I am a watercolor artist living in New Jersey. I am a member of the North East Watercolor Society, the New Jersey Watercolor Society, and several local and internet art organizations through which I exhibit my paintings. My favorite subjects are close focused florals and landscapes. I've recently begun teaching a beginning watercolor class at our local senior center.

Whoa! Lucky Christine. This is so beautiful.
This is a beauty!!! I love the soft blending of the colors on the petals. I agree with Myrna...lucky Christine.
Michelle,
Wow... the rose is so dreamy and sweet. The swapped buddy will definitely be thrilled to receive this. Super work.
Very pretty. I am glad to know what the name for them is.
Thanks, Myrna, Joan, Ai, and Jeanne.
