This is done on a 24x24in canvas, I did the base with acrylic then the highlights with oils(my favorite medium) and learned a lot about paints doing this flower and the one before it. Thea Walstra was kind enough to let me use one of her photos for this painting, without her photo and the artist bossing me around lol, I could not have done this. I am so new to acrylics, I needed bossed, lol.

Only from a heart of wide open n true love could a rose like this claim life!!! I see the soul of it take flight in the gift given like the sacrifice of redemption!!! Herein n for as long as one gazes upon it's face I see the image taking grace n giving it in return loves' passionate place. So Real Katrina!!!thea walstra 27 Aug 2005
