What happens when you give an artist roses for Valentine's Day? They draw/ paint them! I got roses for Valentine's Day, and am planning to paint them, too - if they aren't too far gone. I got this rose a couple days before Valentine's Day when my husband swiped it out of a vase at a winery - after we did some wine tasting there. This rose was the perfect velvety red rose. It was painted with acrylic paint and the leaves were drawn with a black lining pen. Enjoy the rose and the poem that follows...
