‘Rose Hips No.2’
original art
16x20
goldenrod, oil on canvas
 
This painting was one of the first of the series to be completed, and is one of my personal favorites. The complexity of the composition beckons the viewer into its center. The name suggests a close examination of the fruit of a rose plant, which is both beautiful and healing. Traditionally, rose hips have been associated with love and protection. The painting serves as a reminder that time spent in nature can also be a balm to the soul.
 
This piece is part of the series “Of September.” In the colder days, when things are a bit more difficult, the memory of September keeps us going when we need it most. All original works in the series include some hand-made pigment from goldenrod plants which were harvested at the height of their bloom. The paintings in this series serve as a reminder of nature's most bountiful and generous season.
 
Please consider measurements carefully before purchase and take the time to view colors on different monitors, as colors may appear different on different devices. I have done my best to represent all artworks accurately. All works are signed, stamped, and titled individually by the artist.
 
Please note that your purchase does not include a frame. This mounted canvas original arrives ready to hang with picture wire, so it doesn’t need to live in a frame. If you are unsure about framing, I have created a guide for you here.
