96 Solitary Rose of Autumn

96 "Solitary Rose of Autumn" 4x4 oil on board

Today I marveled at how lovely the roses are out front of my house. It's hard to believe they are still blooming in November--but it's no wonder without a hard freeze yet and many 60+ degree days. These yellow ones just capture and hold the light. It's as though they lassoed the sun on a bright sunny day and held that glow within, projecting a dramatic burst of color on these cloudy rainy days of late.
