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.

and I tried another one with a darker background, but lost my momentum

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.

of Apple trees all in bloom.
I’ve been so, so busy working in town, building our second dome, starting mini-gardens and PAINTING…..
my second painting of “Ponies in Meadows” series.
All my life I’ve been heading here, dreaming of here, manifesting my life here, and painting what I love:

"azúcar / Sugar" on my deck
So now all she needs is to get her picture taken by Barry Norris Studio, a world class professional printing studio,

"Sugar" in the Springtime Orchard
along with his sister “Springtime She Cardinal” so prints can be numbered or not. Not sure what the pros and cons of all that are just yet.
Won’t be long and if you would like to purchase either painting, please let me know through my email here on my etsy links and I will take $25. off either or both if you purchase both at the same time., original painting when you mention this comment (first come first serve).

Sugar and Cardinal SpringTime WaterColours
peace n abundance,
CheyAnne
I hope your spring is as magical as mine.

Here is my Sunday-Mornin’ pic pics of the week:
(cause can we ever stop at one?)

Golden White Yellow Glow Rose
I was soooo struck by the light this morning.
Must be because I started my morning with this beautiful rainbow around the sun before it peaked over the eastern horizon. Just out my kitchen window.

Rainbow around the Sun
pretty cool, yes?

rose glow

Heart of a Yellow Rose
this is a Knock-Out rose that I bought last year. I Love it. I’ve been growing it all winter inside and it has burst forth in early springtime glowery. yup that’s a work I just made up and it is so true for this rose. Rich yellow buds at the first signs of uncurling

warm yellow rosebud
or a cooler version of the same rosebud

cool yellow rosebud
and then to open up yellow and fade to white. They smell great and look amazing. Few petals so that each one stands out on it’s own.
I remember reading on Pioneer Woman’s blog about Knock Out roses and how she thought they were pretty awesome. Well I think so too cause even when it seems like roses are too picky, these aren’t and they give you wonderful lemony spicy flowers to enjoy.
If any of these strike your fancy for a beautiful rose photo for your wall, you can find them on my Etsy shop
peace n abundance,
CheyAnne
