Roses have hips

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.

Happy Paint Party Friday!

Beautiful work! I’m not too familiar with rosehips but I’ve seen them before.

Very nice work of art! Love the softness of your background – makes the rose hips more vibrant. Happy PPF!

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!
