Roses For Fleur


Roses For Fleur
Roses for Princess Fleur Bella Rose.
They had to be pink.
This is a marriage between old world allure and modern day roses. I am imagining an arrangement in the palace of Fleurailles….David Austin roses, Olivia Rose Austin to be precise…..arranged beautifully in a rare and exceptional small pink-ground famille rose moonflask, creation of the Qianlong craftsmen from the mid 1800s. In my dreams, this beautiful arrangement sits on Fleur’s nightstand…..the last thing she sees before she closes her eyes to sleep and the very first when her eyes greet the sun.
I paint to dream…..and share my dreams with you!
