In the Art Room - Rose Still Life

Wow, did this take a LONG time!  It's a good thing I invested in silk rose bunches at the craft store because I would have spent a fortune buying fresh roses each week for this project!!!  Each bunch had a closed bud, a half open bud, and one fully opened bloom. We spent the first week sketching from pictures of roses, the second week sketching from life, the third and fourth weeks working on the final piece, and the fifth week we painted.
