A Yellow Rose for a Sweet New Baby Girl.
A sweet new baby girl was born this week into our extended family. She was named after two of her great grandmothers. One of the great grandmothers loved yellow roses. They were her favorite flower.
So in honor of our new little sweetheart, I painted a yellow rose.
My inspiration for this impressionistic rose is from the amazing style of Jean Haines.
Colors used: Daniel Smith Cadmium Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Aliziran Crimson, Burnt Sienna, and Perylene Green.
If her Mommy likes it, I will frame it for our new little angel’s room.
Amidst all the tragedy and heartache in the world (especially this past week here in the U.S. with Hurricanes Harvey and Irma and the 15-year remembrance of 911), the miracle of birth continues to give us hope in the beauty of life and love. May our little ones create and live in a world of peace.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

I hope everyone is able to get through the storm without too much loss. It is such a terrible (devastating) way to have weather ruin so much in its wake. Thanks for including a day brightener! 🌈
