Miniature Roses

Size: 18 x 36 inches (91 x 46 cm)

Oil on canvas

These miniature roses in their daintiness and intricacy, exude charm in soft pastel pink and vibrant magenta.

I was visiting friends in Auckland, NZ, when I strolled out to their back lawn to talk on my phone in the afternoon sunlight and came across several magnificent, over a meter high and 4-5 meters deep, miniature rose bushes. The sight took my breath away. They were amass with thousands upon thousands of tiny, plump, roses in their prime, so I dashed inside for my camera and spent several happy minutes capturing the best shots (with permission). From these images I created the above painting.

Putting something so tiny on a large scale showcases our Creator's handiwork.
