I think rose hips are just as pretty as the roses themselves. I painted this on a gray gloomy day because I needed a dose of orange to cheer me up. 6″x6″, oil. This is on a cradled panel with painted sides and can be hung framed or unframed. There’s a shot showing the sides at DPW where it is available for sale.

Beautiful work! I’m not too familiar with rosehips but I’ve seen them before.
I love the flowers and how you have captured them. Blessings, Janet PPF
Very nice work of art! Love the softness of your background – makes the rose hips more vibrant. Happy PPF!
Spent roses remind me of my mothers rose garden from my childhood thanks, lovely painting!
Lovely…well done!!

Hi Mellisa, si I’ve finally found your blog!
It’s great how a color can change your outlook on a gray and gloomy day. We don’t get many of those days in the south, but when we do – those touches of happy make a big difference. Lovely painting!
Beautiful! Love the orange!
beautiful rosehips! HPPF!
So beautiful! I love the hips too — it’s true that they are often as pretty as the flowers themselves. Happy PPF!
Lovely painting. They have cheered me up that’s for sure, a grey cold day here! HPPF!
Happy WEEKEND
HAPPY PPF!
HAPPY PAINTING AND CRAFTING!

Lovely, so beautifully done, wonderful how the grey enhances the orange! <3
I agree that the rose hips are just as beautiful in a totally different way as the roses are. Lovely painting. HPPF
This is such a beautiful painting!! Happy PPF!
Love the painting and the title. Lovely strong outline shapes.
I think the hips come in so many fascinating colours, deep and rich!
Happy PPF!
