Day 20 of the 30 in 30 - Celebration Roses

Today's painting is of some roses that were part of my daughter's 16th birthday bouquet... I can honestly say, roses are not my thing to paint.  Such a challenge with all of layers and delicate shading.  I have watched countless you-tube videos of people painting roses who make it seem effortless.  I assure you, it is not... Celebration Roses is my take on such a common, yet difficult subject to paint.. Enjoy!
