'Winter Rose' by Theresa Oats

This rose blossomed in our back yard during the recent rainstorm.  I clipped the stem and painted it as it was back lit by my studio window and lit from the side by another window.  I worked on it from life on a 7x5 inch prepared panel
for two days.  The rose didn't change because it's light source remained constantly grey due to our recent grey day weather.
I plan to include this in a my show at the Sewell Gallery this coming May.
