'Rose with Buds' by Theresa Oats

Our Westerland rose bush is blossoming profusely.  The array of colors in a single rose can vary from yellow to pink to red orange to cool red in luminous transitions.   I painted this single blossom - with 3 buds- in my studio in natural light with oils on a 7x5 inch wood panel.  It is signed on the lower left side.
We purchased our Westerland rose bush at Fickle Hill Old Rose Nursery in Arcata Ca.

    Wow! you wonderfully captured the translucent transparency of the petals with the way you articulated the light.

    Westerland through your eyes and via your amazing skill as a painter transforms into a work of art that transcends what most often is a quick admiring look at a great plant. Between your Westerlands and Jim's Buff Beauty paintings...those roses will live forever.
