This is Rose

She is finally finished, I began sketching ideas for this one shortly after Lily was framed, several years ago.  If you haven't seen Lily she is in the archives under January, the one with (7) posts.  Rose is done in acrylic, and is 16x20.  I can't decide which way she should be orientated.



To me it seems to change the feeling of the painting just holding it in a different position.  Are the fading roses opressing her, or maybe it's the other way round?  Perhaps I'll get my husband to make a frame on a turn table so I can change it to suit my mood.
