Rookiepainter challenge 37

Arches, 30 x 23 cm

This was my third and relatively successful attempt at the Rookiepainter challenge this month. I wanted to paint this loosely, but I kept covering spots, that needed to remain white, causing ugly backruns or simply creating mud.
I also had another reason to paint a rose today, for another Rose, very dear to me, on her birthday. Let there be roses!
