Westmoreland by Theresa Oats

Our Westmoreland bush produces floppy roses which start our with warm

petals becoming cooler as the inside petals open up. The blossoms are large which

inspired me to approach this work as a portrait, painting 1 blossom straight on and

using artistic license to add another layer of petals on the bottom for a bit of a

collar effect.

Painted on location in oils on a 7x5 inch prepared panel.
