Red-white roses

These magnificent multicolored roses I picked on the rose farm in Stuttgart. That's really rare sort of roses I've never get in my hand before and the long-awaited painting challenge.

I made an attempt to depict on canvas the harmony of ivory, light pink, red and carmine, the cold violet tones on the shadows, the warm lighting on  the velvet petals.

Roses are at the peak of blooming, the withering hadn't touched the petals, but the boutons just a little bent under the weight.

Unfortunately, the picture couldn't convey an amazing flavor of flowers, I've enjoyed while painting process.

Hope, you like the result!
