This beautiful flower is from my dear friend's 19th century farmhouse garden.  A garden filled with mature and old timey plantings.   This is my first major painting where I sat on my back porch drawing this composition for over three hours. 

What is most memorable about this painting is how I so enjoyed depicting the bark and the flower buds.  I truly enjoy using dry brush to bring out all the details one stroke at a time.
