Original is always in style.
Resting Roses came out of the simple inspiration of unwrapping roses from the store, and then not putting them in a vase. Spread loosely across the tablecloth they offered a casual and unfinished motif. The roses are finished in red, permanent rose and magenta. The background is worked in red earth tones and then washed in cobalt blue and white.
