This close-up of summer roses captures their vivid life through bold, impasto brushstrokes and rich, layered color. The crimson petals unfold with a quiet strength—soft yet powerful, full of passion and grace. There is no need for distraction; the painting focuses solely on the roses themselves, celebrating their natural beauty with intensity and presence.
Each thick stroke holds a piece of the energy roses have always held for me—the delicate balance of resilience and tenderness. This is not just a still life but an expression of reverence for something timeless, where simplicity reveals its own force.
