Vintage Roses

This morning has slipped by and I sit here still in my jammies, with all the things I meant to do, still waiting. I ended up spending time figuring out my camera’s options and reorganizing picture files on my computer.  Not exactly a waste of time, but not what really, really needed to be done. 

Anyway, I got a decent photo of this rose watercolor I had done a couple of years ago.  I have a snippet of it on my blog already, but this picture is so much better, I wanted to show it.

My sister and I were having a great junking day in Indianapolis a few years back and came across a gorgeous old painting on faded paper.  I bought it, and painted my own version of it, and this is it.  Old paintings inspire me, and I do change them a bit when I do them and make them my own, so I try not to feel like a "copy cat" of the original artist’s work.  Heck, I’d be flattered if someone was inspired to paint by one of my watercolors.
