Rosy Arbor by Sylvia


Rosey Arbor by Sylvia
This Rose Arbor reminds me of a romantic garden, where everything seems perfect! This painting was one of my first endeavors. I really didn't enjoy working on it because I was so nervous and stiff.  Since then I have learned to relax some,enjoy and not worry about messing up. Thanks to my good friend, she has made me realize that any mistake is fixable ( as long as I catch it!) I got this pattern from an art book. I thought it was so pretty, but it turned out to be very hard for me to paint the roses;yet I learn something new every time I encounter a challenge. Hope you enjoy it, I'm just glad it's finished. Thanks for looking. If you have any comments, they are welcomed.
