yellow rose sketch with my watercolors
on an afternoon was we were listening to coast-to-coast
my new Yellow Rose blossom
I love, love, love yellow roses.
Back 30 years ago as of July 24, 1982, when we brought our first son home from the hospital, my yellow rose was blooming and I fell in love with this color.
My favorite yellow that I just adore is the yellow that is tinged with pink on the edges, but it seems a little harder to find. This is a Knockout from Wal-Mart, and it’s just yellow, but such a wonderful rich lemon yellow that changes to white as it stays open. And the scent is just heavenly and fragrant, A little spicy and yet sweet too. At first I wanted the yellow to last longer, but the more I grow it the more the white grows on me too. Perfect for a moon garden. Seems to be doing pretty well with a little rose food and moisture. So out came my watercolours, just to sketch, not necessarily produce a finished painting.

I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day.
I have lots of original watercolor paintings, finished and everything, on my etsy shop along with beautiful photographs.

There’s that wonderful yellow again! And you know I love yellow roses, being from Texas and all. I’ll bet you know the original “yellow rose of Texas” was the woman who kept Santa Anna in his tent with his pants off just a little too long, at the battle of San Jacinto!
I have one hand-painted plate that belonged to my grandmother – it has yellow roses, too. Yellow just makes me happy. Off I go to look at your Etsy shop – haven’t been there in a while!

Linda, I just love this. told my honey too. I love hand painted plates and my honey’s mom has tons I haven’t even been able to go thru yet. I want to do some research and see if any have more value than others. I’ll tell you they are just gorgeous. And thank you so much for all your support here on my scattered blog.
