Mother's Day Roses
8 x 10, oil on canvas
Happy Mothers Day to all my mother/sister/daughter/friends who make the world a better place each and every day.
And best wishes to all the hard working graduates who are moving onto brand new chapters of their lives!
And a sprinkling of humor to keep it all in perspective....

"Your families are extremely proud of you!
You can't imagine the sense of relief they are experiencing ~
This would be a most opportune time to ask for money."

Wonderful painting! It's an explosion of love and joy! It makes me feel happy when I look at it!
And the quotes are great. Especially the one about this being a good time to ask for money. My kids are pros at that.
Happy Mothers Day Faye.
Your rose painting is beautiful. I don't know how you managed ... all those petals! I painted one little rose the other day and it became way too confusing. You did a beautiful job on each rose. Your colors too are lovely.
Beautiful Roses Faye, hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!
Faye... This is gorgeous!!!
This is a Wow painting. Just love the composition, the colors and the bits of light are fabulous. Beautiful- a favorite!
