Thank you SO much, Katherine! Beauty is what I attempt to portray in all my subjects which of course is made easier by Nature's perfection. After a public trend toward the contrary, it's so wonderful to know that beauty on many levels, is once again becoming popular! Afterall, it is embedded in the psyche of all living things so I'd always known it would prevail. Thank you again for your delightful comments! Jeanne

Thank you so much! The "Simplicity" rose is so beautiful with it's tinge of muted pink almost as if it's shyly blushing! Jeanne

Your still lifes are very beautiful! I especially like the one with the roses and lillies, as well as all the floral ones! You have such talent!

Thank you SO much, Carol. I adore all flowers but have a special fondness for roses, in particular the old fashioned China and English roses with their voluptuous blossoms and heady fragrance. Tea roses are fabulous, but my heart belongs to the old fashioned varieties. I'll be sure to visit your site for more inspiration since my rose garden is actually a small border of rather immature plants which have thus far withstood consumption by rabbits and deer thanks to an underplanting of woody herbs. Thank you for your lovely comments! Jeanne
