One of my husband's early professional photos is this rose. We were visiting close friends in northern Kentucky and they took us to the Cincinnati Flower Show. I dragged my husband, kicking and screaming, as he thought it would be a bunch of girly displays. Boy was he wrong! He was transfixed by the beauty of the flowers, the landscape design, the powerful images some people created. We had to drag him outta there. He took some lovely shots and we've matted and framed them over the years to sell. This is one of my favorites. It looks great with a clean white mat and a black frame about 2" wide.

That rose is drop dead beautiful. And, Cole got a great shot of it. Looks like something I would love to attempt painting! ;) Attempt being the operative word here.
Brian, by the time he checks the blog, V Day will be over! But, I did buy something rather fancy for him today!
Devilz: Welcome to my blog and thank you for leaving a comment. I hope to get to all the TT bloggers between tonight and the wknd. I'll look for you.
Tanna: Please feel free to paint it. Will you share the results with me? I'd like to post them if you do. I'm waiting for my girlfriend in CA to send me a photo of her finished painting of my husband's gorgeous shot from inside a barn. I posted it right after Labor Day. She uploaded the photo with his permission and took it to her art class and painted it and said it was the favorite. I want to post her painting next to the photograph. I think it will make an interesting piece for the blog.
Wow! That is truly beautiful and stunning. Thank you so much for sharing it with me! :-)
Absolutely stunning!! And the color, so delicate!! Beautiful whorls.
What a perfect natural spiral and the colour is intense.
