A Rose

This was another artless week except for the little
bit of mixed media Saturday, which I will show
at another time, and this watercolor rose,
which I painted because I was feeling guilty
about my lack of art lately. I am posting this

My heart goes out to those affected by
the horrible high rise apartment fire.
I can't imagine how a building can go up
in flames so rapidly, trapping all those people.

  1. Your rose is beautiful. The fire in London was so awful, I cried watching the new, it was just unbearable to think of all those poor people. Hugs, Valerie

  21. This heavenly smelling rose is like a spiritual greeting, especially also a greeting to all the people, who were near the fire......

  22. The flower is my fave. I watched it burn on Sky News and the horror of it all. Since it was just renovated, it appears there needs to be better scrutiny of the work. Blessings, Janet
